VUT Visual Arts and Design hosts the Best of 2017 Fine Art exhibition
Best work of 2017 for Visual Arts and Design students
Qhawekazi Memani
The Best of 2017 Fine Art student exhibition opened on 22 February at Bodutu Gallery and will remain open until 16 March.
Each year, the Department of Visual Arts and Design selects the best artworks from the November examinations in Fine Arts for an exhibition. These include works from first year level students to BTech level students and covers a variety of disciplines such as painting, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics as well as digital imaging, video and animation.
The exhibition is an ongoing initiative which started in 2013. It was based on two objectives:
- To showcase the achievement of the students on a yearly basis with a goal to promote/sell students’ work and the Fine Art course; and
- To motivate and inspire new students in Fine Art.
All Fine Art students are given an equal opportunity to be selected based on their academic achievements of the previous year. They are selected by a special panel of lecturers.
