V&A Evaluation

The V&A Evaluation
When we took a trip to the V&A gallery our aim was to 'Capture'. We were asked what the word capture meant in our own words I came up with the following:

Capture:-

• Photography/Cameras
• Filming/Videos
• Diaries
• Memories/Events
• Past/Present/Future
• Internet
• Networking Sites
• Drawing/Paintings
• Observing
• Writing

We were told things about the V&A and what it was about. I made notes on what the cureator said.

The V&A

• Uses design objects to tell a story
• Popular culture tastes are shown as well as non-popular
• Such as lighting & radio of the 2oth century as it shows how it has evolved over the years
• Some objects came from World War times.
• Transport is also a big design issue and it has become so different from now
• Images collected are used to tell a story
• 21st century meant after the WWII
• Some designs are according to fashionable taste
• Items like clothes changed since the 1950's
• The gallery captures by collecting things from the past and present
• Some objects reflect on the kind of designs nowadays, as people may recognise something but seem a little different from what they see now

We were told to capture 3 visual images of items we found interesting or significant in some way.These are my drawings from 3 different objects.

During this trip I've learned the many ways there are to capture and the variety of meanings the word could have in a media/art related way.
