UCA Farnham Fine Art Induction Project & Exhibition

UCA Farnham Fine Art students in year 1 have been launched into their programme with not 1 but 2 projects in their 1st week. The first project saw students work collaboratively to formulate responses to the Diego Valesquez painting "Las Meninas". The second project saw them work independently to explore the concept of the "Flaneur".

Both projects will be exhibited, but today saw the opening of the Las Meninas project in the Linear Gallery, Farnham, their 1st exhibition.
