Today I attended Red River College Graphic Design students' Art Auction and Festival at The Forks Market. Instead of using computers, the students used traditional mediums such as painting, sketching, and even using a pen. It was inspiring to see the work of the students in the faculty.
Over the course of today and yesterday, the students created their works of art right in front of the public's eyes.
As well, Steve Vogelsang, former CKY television personality and current RRC Creative Communications instructor was the auctioneer of the event.
My favourite piece of work was of four wine glasses that were colored according to the seasons - fall, summer, winter and spring. I tried to bid on the work, but I was quickly outbid! Everyone was so generous and it was really nice to see as proceeds from the event were split between Winnipeg Harvest and the graphic design program. Congratulations to everyone who helped out with the event and in the Graphic Design program - it was a great turn out!
I was there and it was a lot of fun. I hope to go back next year.
