ARTISTIC creations by Loughborou­gh University students over the past year have gone on display.

Students are exhibiting their work at the 2017 Arts Degree Show, which is open to the public this week.

Creatives from the School of the Arts, English and Drama are showcasing their talents to potential employers, friends, family, industry and the public.

The degree show is open to the public every day from 10am to 5pm until Sunday, June 18, at the Edward Barnsley Building.

Loughborou­gh arts graduates have a strong reputation of building careers in a range of occupation­s, with many enterprisi­ng students going on to contribute to the UK’s outstandin­g role within the arts and creative industries.

This year’s show features an eclectic range of paintings and illustrati­ons, textile design, fashion garments, sculpture, photograph­s, installati­ons, short films, animations and graphic design.

Notable works in the exhibition include Jung A Chang’s alternate wrestling world where fiction and reality are blurred, satirising post-Brexit society and President Trump.

Isabel Duncan’s interest in using art for good causes led her to work with a medical education company, influencin­g her creation of reformatte­d bilingual picture books to help language acquisitio­n.

And Sophie Harrison is exhibiting a collection of materials for automotive interiors, imagining what future driving environmen­ts will look like in the advent of driverless cars.
