Be entranced by the variety of images and styles in the works of the ‘Seeing with Digital Eyes’ exhibtion, which presents over 240 works by students in Diploma Level 1 and the Foundation Certificate in Visual Arts. Created during workshops in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, the works show the students’ diverse approaches to digital drawing and collage.
The aim of the workshops was to equip students with fundamental skills in digital art and design. Praxis Space displays works made using Photoshop inspired by the theme ‘Beyond nature’ and including references to advertising, comic characters, films and popular songs.
In these works, original scales and surfaces appear warped; an effect achieved through the students’ free manipulation of visual material. By contrast, the works displayed in Project Space follow a design brief, which required each student to incorporate circle-shaped vectors into a self-portrait. Displayed in succession, these works—made using Illustrator—show the students’ various responses to the same design problem.
The Seeing With Digital Eyes Exhibition is currently running from now until Sun 10 May, Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore, Praxis Space and Project Space, Level 1. Opening Hours: Tuesday – Sunday: 10 am – 6 pm (except 1.30–2.30 pm). Admission is free. For more information, please visit the Lasalle website.
