According to the British "Wenhua Weekly" report, every June, British universities send away a group of graduates, who begin to prepare for job hunting after completing their graduation thesis. In the City of London, there are always a group of graduates who are still working very hard at school. They have the same name as university of the arts london graduates, and their task is the graduation design exhibition held by their respective colleges. The reporter interviewed Wang Jianuo, a China graduate who was attending the graduation exhibition, Wan Yi, who was a blockbuster because of the graduation exhibition, and Chen Yuhan, who did not attend the graduation fashion show but was still outstanding. In the minds of university of the arts london graduates, how heavy is the graduation exhibition?

After the graduation exhibition, some students have big pockets.

The Wimbledon Art Institute in university of the arts london chose to exhibit the works of graduates from June 14 to 22 this year. At this year's graduation exhibition, a huge red lip attracted the attention of many visitors. Its author is Wang Jianuo, a China native who graduated from the college. The third-year China student admitted that there will be many buyers and gallery visitors during the graduation exhibition. Some collectors not only give some advice to students, but also buy the works of interested students on the spot.

This is an installation art called "Rolling Stone", with Lickitung as the theme. The designer used nearly 3,000 coke cans 150ml to compose this work of Lickitung in the form of mosaic. Wang Jianuo told Wenhua Weekly. I painted the bottom of each coke can with spray paint, and compared and pieced together the pictures I made with my computer. This work is 3 meters high and 2.5 meters wide. Because of the heavy workload, I glued these coke cans to three boards with super glue to facilitate the progress room. This work was the most popular at the opening ceremony because its scale and innovative consciousness were praised by guests and teachers. ? Wang Jianuo told reporters excitedly.

What are the requirements of graduation exhibition for graduates' own business skills? On the basis of continuing his pop art style, Wang Jianuo also made great efforts in originality. Wang Jianuo said:? It is difficult for artists nowadays to be original. Whenever you come up with a good idea, someone has done similar work a long time ago, so originality and innovation are very important. As a China graduate of an art exhibition, my first thought is to make a work that is not like that made by China graduates, but more in line with international standards. This is the reason why I study abroad. Nowadays, many art students in China follow the development of China's art form, the scope is too small, and the content and style of their works are similar. Nowadays, contemporary art in China is not only the finishing touch and Tiananmen Square, but also more creative and eye-catching works. ?

In addition to originality, the graduation exhibition of Wimbledon Art College in university of the arts london pays more attention to creativity and practicality. ? My major is fine arts. Compared with graduation exhibitions in China, graduation exhibitions in foreign art colleges are more interesting. Most graduation exhibitions in China focus on techniques and characterization, while graduation exhibitions in foreign art colleges are more creative and practical. Contemporary art has always been the main research topic for students. Compared with the past, fewer and fewer technical creations appear in the exhibition, and more creative works appear in the current graduation exhibition. Every year, there is no fixed theme in the graduation exhibition of art and design, and everyone gives play to their own specialties. Our teacher told us on the first day of school that you have been artists since the first day of college. I won't make too many changes to all your works. I will only give you opinions and suggestions, or introduce some works made by artists similar to you, so that students can create and change them themselves. The focus of the annual graduation exhibition is basically divided into two categories: one is your graduation works, and the other is your investigation of your own works, that is, research journals. On the first day of the opening exhibition, many buyers and gallery people will visit, and they will also give students a piece of work and suggestions or tend to collect students' works. ? Wang Jianuo introduced.

For Wang Jianuo, the graduation exhibition is indeed a very good platform for her future artistic career. Many galleries and buyers will be invited by the school to attend the graduation exhibition, which is difficult for students themselves to do. Every student will prepare business cards and advertisements to let more people know your work. At present, I have bought some students' works, but the price is not very high, basically around several hundred pounds. The bought works will put a dot under the wall of the exhibition works to prove that the works have been bought. Many students think that after the exhibition, their wallets have swelled a lot. Even if it is not sold, the graduation exhibition is of great help to students. ?

In addition, Wang Jianuo also has two graduation works, one is Art and Art, which brings together the important events experienced by Britain in the past five years; The other is Call Girl, which is more popular, interesting in theme and simple in lines.

The graduation fashion show is a? World stage?

She is the first China student to graduate from university of the arts london Central Saint Martin College of Art and Design (hereinafter referred to as Central Saint Martin) and get her first undergraduate degree. In the same year, she was invited by Professor Louise Wilson, a female fashion coach in London, to attend the graduate student of women's design in Central Saint Martin with a full scholarship. Her master's graduation design was on the runway of London Fashion Week, and was also photographed by Lady Gaga's costumer as an alternative costume for Lady Gaga's Asian tour concert. She is preparing a studio named after herself, and is ready to launch her own design in September this year. She is Wan, a girl from Xiamen, China. As a member of the Central Saint Martin Graduation Fashion Show? People who have been there? Wan Yi's two major life experiences are closely related to her two graduation fashion shows, which have become an excellent opportunity for her to change her life trajectory and a dazzling scenery on her artistic path.

For Wan Yi, 20 10 Central Saint Martin's undergraduate graduation show was the first time that she was really judged by the fashion world. ? At that time, about 40 students were selected from more than 200 graduates to participate in the graduation fashion show. In the program, Central Saint Martin invited buyers from the fashion industry, media people and school teachers to rate the works in the program. Fortunately, I got the highest score and became the first. ?

If you tell the reporter that the graduation show of Central Saint Martin has its own characteristics every year, and it is improving every year, what will happen whether it is the costumes displayed or the stage design? This year's design feels very different, because with the new campus, everyone has new inspiration. ? Wan Yi Party said that because the graduation fashion show of Central Saint Martin is very eye-catching in the industry, many media will report it. After she won the gold medal in the 20 10 Central Saint Martin Graduation Show, she was also interviewed by the famous fashion magazines Media VOGUE.com and VOGUE TV stations.

Wan Yi's master's works are inspired by optical illusion, which breaks common sense and seeks an aesthetic balance through the arrangement, overlapping and extension of geometric bodies. It is this series of clothes with unique styles that are favored by Lady Gaga's dressers. Although Wan Yi still doesn't know how Lady Gaga's dressers came into contact with her works, what if she told reporters that the graduation fashion show is the world stage to show your works? People all over the world can see your work and give you feedback. Many students show their works through exhibitions. ?

Regarding the experience of winning the prize in the graduation fashion show, Wan Yi thinks that winning the prize is a great encouragement for me. I have a new understanding of myself. It turns out that I can do well and form my own style. ? She told reporters that after winning the prize in the graduation fashion show, Wan Yi attracted the attention of people in the industry, and some brands extended an olive branch to Wan Yi. Some high street brands and high-end brands invited me to design for them, and others wanted to buy my series. The graduation fashion show is a good opportunity to let more people know about you. ? In the end, Wan Yi declined the invitation from all parties and chose Central Saint Martin for further study, because it was a rare opportunity for her to enter the women's design graduate student of Central Saint Martin, which has the highest status and the strongest competitiveness in the fashion industry. If you tell the reporter: There are 40 graduate students in the four majors of Central Saint Martin, but there are thousands of applications from all over the world every year? Even if you go in and study, you may not be able to graduate, because half of it will be brushed off in the second year. This is a way for Saint Martin to strictly control the quality of students, because the competition in the fashion industry is too fierce! ?

Although Wan Yi has attracted the attention of the industry through two graduation fashion shows, she also admits that graduation fashion shows are only opportunities for graduates to show their graduation works, and how much they will promote the future development of designers in the fashion industry varies from person to person.

Graduation fashion show is not the only way out.

On May 29th, 20 12 University of the Arts presented the works of 36 students, including 6 students from China, accounting for 1/6, which was the largest number of China students selected for the graduation exhibition over the years. Chen Yuhan, a fresh graduate of China, did not appear on the stage of graduation fashion show, but she showed her representative works in the subsequent Central Saint Martin Graduation Exhibition 20 12.

Chen Yuhan's series? Women's lives? It has been well received and appreciated by all parties. The work shows a woman's process from birth to death through six stages: germination, growth, blooming and decline, which also combines? Break a cocoon into a butterfly? This process. Chen Yuhan explained to reporters that her series is to show a person's secular desire from infancy, to the process of being constantly polished in the process of growing up, and finally to a blank at the end of his life.

Although he didn't appear on the stage of the graduation fashion show, Chen Yuhan said that doesn't mean that his works are not excellent. The works selected by the school every year are the clothes that best reflect the characteristics of St. Martin, and each route will choose a representative one, so the school considers more the stage effect, and some works may not be so brilliant off stage. ? Chen Yuhan also said that one of her alumni did not appear in the graduation fashion show, but because of her excellent graduation works, she went to work in Dior after graduation. ? The graduation show organized by the school is sometimes not only a stage for displaying works, but also creates topics and even selects some negative works. Therefore, not choosing a drama does not mean that your design is not good, and choosing a drama does not mean that your future road is smooth sailing. This is not a turning point in career planning. It depends on whether you can seize the opportunity and see what you want. ?

Although she was not selected for this year's undergraduate graduation fashion show of Central Saint Martin University, Chen Yuhan got Lawrence who designed the dragon robe for Fan Bingbing. Xu's job invitation. She used her own experience to prove that she can find a good job without attending the graduation fashion show, as long as she has the ability. Chen Yuhan said proudly, can you give it to Lawrence? Xu's works are not only inspired by her aesthetics and design, but also by Lawrence? In addition to Xu's similarity, this is also related to her previous internship experience in McQueen. Chen Yuhan said that she worked for McQueen's chief designer sarah burton and participated in the design and production of sarah burton corn doll skirt. For China people, this is unprecedented for McQueen. Sarah also said that I could write these two clothes as my own works on my resume. ?
