Week 1 and 2
Our first day consisted of observing in detail works from the Derbyshire Schools Library Service collection and writing down their inscriptions and other various notes before unframing the works. As we were removing the works from the frames, we found a Frances Hodgkins collotype behind a Robert Tavener lithograph. This was a great result for the first day, and a lucky start to the internship! Continue reading
Dogs have been our companions for millennia.
It is thus no surprise that they have also been present in art for thousands of years.
This exhibition includes prints, photographs, drawings, paintings, ceramics and digital illustrations from the 18th to the 21st century taken from the School of Art collections, and loaned from the National Library of Wales, artists and private collections. Continue reading

Ar ôl cwblhau fy BA ac MA mewn Celfyddyd Gain ym Mhrifysgol Aberystwyth yn 1998, cychwynnais yrfa fel darlunydd, cyn dysgu mewn swyddi yn amrywio o artist preswyl i fod yn bennaeth adran. Yn ystod 2008, astudiais draddodiad clasurol y dull ‘maint-golwg’, sef paentio wrth arsylwi’n uniongyrchol, yn y Charles Cecil Studios, Fflorens. Yna bûm yn gweithio fel artist ffoto-realaidd i Damien Hirst, yn paentio o brintiadau ansawdd uchel. Yn dilyn y cyfle hwn, dychwelais at fy nghrefft gyda phrofiad mewn dulliau paentio cwbl groes. Cychwynnais hefyd ar waith ymchwil ar gyfer fy PhD gyda’r nod o greu techneg oedd yn cyfuno elfennau mwyaf arwyddocaol a chydnaws y ddwy broses. Continue reading

Dear German Talkers,
I hope you are all doing well during these unfortunately still very unsettling times.
Because we are currently still unable to open our School of Art Galleries to the public, I decided to put together another ‘digital’ German Talk to give you a chance to see some of Veronica Calarco’s great works, which comprise part of her PhD in Fine Art, and to maybe expand your German vocabulary a bit more at the same time. The below presentation will only show part of her work, but you will find a link to her online exhibition in this text and in the presentation, if you would like to see all her images.
