Amazing! So much work and detail has gone into it! Intriguing and interesting, well done!
I loved the contrast between the mine and christmas at home. First time I have been down a chimey! Great grotto!
I loved the 'santa' experience - once I realised the role I was playing! Very thought provoking and a little scary.
It was really surreal, I love the concept, very interesting and deep.
At first it was like waking up in the middle of the night as a child and being scared, but then the realisiation hit me really hard and it really bought things into perspective..
I was shocked by the silent darkness..

Present & Incorrect photos

Brilliant feedback froms students about show!
Present and Incorrect 2010 gave me a brillaint opportunity to gain an insight into the process of curating a show..
There was a buzzing atmosphere on the private view! The layout was really interesting and varied.
The grotto looked amazing, it was great how you had to crawl into it as it made it way more exciting!
The Rag Factory exhibition was enjoyable from start to finish, although a lot of hard work, it was definitely worth it to see all our outcomes being exhibited so proffesionally!
The Rag factory was very interesting, exhausting, exciting and fullfilling! From the early stages of planning through to the final touches the show provided an opportunity to understand how to run a show. The private view had a brilliant atmosphere and everyone seemed very impressed by the work.
I think the main highlight was that the show all felt really proffesional from the venuw to the leaflets. I think seeing the quality of YR13 work inspires other year groups and gives them something to look forward to.
I think the show was beautifully presented and had a fantastic atmosphere. It was great to see the work collected and presented together accross all year groups.
For me the highlight of the show was the prize giving and I thought it was good that outside judges canme and judged the work.
In my opinion the show was fun, proffesional and a great opportunity for artists at the Brit school. It gave us a chance to have responsibilty for the showcase of our work,learn from mistakes and responses.
I felt Brick Lane was the perfect location for our first ever show!
The exhibition was a great opportunity to engage with other students and share our creative input. There was a lot of variation in forms of work to create a varied visual experience.

Rag factory Preparation
Emotions are running high in the Visual Arts and Design department currently with the preparation for the 'Present and Incorrect' show at the Rag Factory. It is taking a lot of time and effort from the whole of the department. This has included students staying till late at school to get work and preparation finished in time for the show on Friday.
With the overwhelming amount of work set, the department as a whole is doing an amazing job of working through everything that needs to be done to achieve the common goal of putting on a great show. We can't wait to get into the space tomorrow and begin putting up the wide range of work. And of course we can't wait for Friday, especially to hear who win win the ''Upcycled' design prize and the 'Craftivist' prize.
There is no doubt that this year's Rag Factory show is going to be one to remember with great art, music and installations.

Year 13 Christmas Pound Shop
Today was the day of our Christmas Pound Shop. We began to set up the boxes and tables we had wrapped in the morning; when this was finished, we waited for the rush of students to begin. Within minutes of setting up, teachers who had finished teaching for the morning began flocking to our stalls and buying up our handmade objects.
Slowly as the teachers presence began to fade from our stalls, the students of the BRIT School entered the foyer where our Pound Shop was set up. With face painting, cup cakes, stocking fillers and christmas cards being bought the foyer became awash with many a delighted face.
Almost as quickly as it had begun, the students left our stalls to return to class and we were left with pretty empty tables. We raised £185 (in one lunchtime!) to go towards our exhibition at the Rag Factory on the 10th of December.

About Present and Incorrect
About Present and Incorrect:
Following the huge success of our show earlier this year, BRIT School Visual Arts and Design department are delighted to be heading out once again to the heart of the East London art scene. Present & incorrect is a showcase of work by 14-19 year old artists, craftspeople and designers, experimenting with painting, photography, graphics, drawing, craft, jewellery, narrative illustration, fashion illustration, animation, graphics, textiles, print, live art, video, sculpture, 3D design, community projects, and interdisciplinary arts. Work is exhibited alongside Christmas themed interactive pieces, as well as a Christmas market of crafts and art works and other delights to buy. You can visit the culturally poignant, hidden worlds of our Grotto, leave a message on our alternative Christmas memorial tree, take part in participatory art works, such as Ritual. The Private View includes our brand new Craftivism and Upcycled Design prizes, with judging from Andrew Kenny, Textile artist and tutor at London College of Fashion, and James Bosely, Print designer, and other live events, with Prize winners to be announced at 7pm. Festive refreshments will be available.
In June 2010, Year 13 BTEC National Diploma Art and Design students worked in collaboration with St Christopher’s Hospice patients to create a video installation entitled, How I want to be remembered. The work involved the re-telling of life stories through video projections onto a Plush toy designed by their patient of themselves. The final sharing celebration of this extraordinary work at the hospice involved a tea party, embroidery, displays of process work. Our Hospice work has been presented at The House of Commons as part of the Dying Matters agenda.
For their first 2D and 3D design assignment the Year 10 BTEC First Diploma Art and Design students took a trip to East London, recording the diverse sights and sounds they encountered around Whitechapel, Brick Lane and Spitalfields Market. They have re-worked their recorded material and researched folklore and history set in East London, through various print, mark-making and diorama techniques in the style of working of artist Sam Marshall. These have inspired their illustrative books on display. Digital copies of the books will be available for sale. On the 3D side of the project, students have made their own unique urban East-London inspired contemporary jewellery.
The Year 10 GCSE Art and Design students were set the task of introducing themselves through their Pieces of me artwork with the use of text, collage, photography, illustration and painting. They were introduced to the work of Sara Fanelli, Joseph Cornell and Reggie Pedro to inspire them. During workshops they produced responses from photographic memorabilia that has been scratched and defaced to cardboard dogs with newspaper legs!!
Year 11 BTEC First Diploma in Art & Design are showcasing a collection of work from the last six months and a new commission specially for the Rag Factory show, entitled Ritual, a series of re-enactments with a twist of iconic live art works dating back to the 60s. Other projects on show include The Truth About Drugs, in which students worked on a brief from the school to produce animations and information sheets on the subject of drugs for the rest of school community, and The Little Peoples’ Festival, in which students worked with Selhurst Early Years Centre to produce creative storytelling aids such as finger puppets and storybooks, and which culminated in a puppet show.
The Year 11 GCSE Art and Design students have experimented with a selection of screen and other printing techniques, under the theme Brand me/Define me. They explored what made themselves tick, how they were motivated and what they were made up of! They were looking at the murky presence of their past ancestors in their life to experiences with split personalities, culminating in an exciting and thoughtful body of work presented as a giant collective piece.
Year 12 BTEC National Extended Diploma Art and Design students are presenting a variety of works across fine art, design and photography, through Flesh and Deconstruct/Reconstruct. The work demonstrates working both traditionally and experimentally, from beautifully detailed charcoal studies to animated drawings exposing the body.
Year 13 BTEC National Diploma Art and Design- Visual Arts Pathway. Students have been exploring the theme Craftivism – exploring the disciplines of craft and activism together to make powerful statements about issues they feel strongly about, from female identity to the meaning of life. They have explored a wide range of craft techniques and processes and exploring their origins and purposes and well as examining the work of other artists and craftspeople making work in the form of Craftivism. The students work will be exhibited and judged for the title of Craftivism Prize 2010.
Year 13 BTEC National Diploma Art and Design – Design Pathway. Renew, Reuse, Recycle. Taking inspiration from the current environmental and ethical themes that are prevalent within the design world, students have been exploring materials and techniques in the development and creation of a piece of 3D Design to enter into the inaugural Upcycled Design awards. The award focuses on innovation and intelligent use of materials as well as aesthetic and utilitarian concerns with the only main specification being that each entry must be made from at least 70% recycled materials. The students work will be exhibited and judged for the title of Upcycled Design Prize 2010.
