Design students stage exhibition at Gallery
A crowd of about 350 people attended the opening of a colourful and evocative exhibition by University of the Sunshine Coast students at the USC Gallery on Thursday 10 June.
The exhibition, called Kaleidoscope, features large format prints on paper, canvas and vinyl produced by 50 advanced Design students who have explored the theme of “the changing aspects of technology”.
It was officially opened by the University Foundation’s Executive Officer Andrew Pentland and will remain on display until Saturday 17 July.
Computer-Based Design academic Dr Debra Livingston said this annual exhibition demonstrated the students’ innovation and creativity.
“Concentrating on digital illustration, the students are encouraged to experiment with photography, painting and drawing skills combined with computer software to produce a dynamic body of art work,” she said.
“This year, students have explored themes in fantasy, human form, metropolis, culture, mechanics, technology or the natural world.”
Dr Livingston said USC’s Bachelor of Design prepared students for a variety of careers, including advertising, graphic design, multimedia design, packaging, publishing, visual communication and web design.
The Gallery is located at the University campus on Sippy Downs Drive, Sippy Downs. It is open free to the public from 10am to 4pm Monday to Saturday. The Gallery is closed Sundays and public holidays.
