Student Realism

Following their study of Russian avant-garde poster advertisements, a thrid year History of Art class created their own posters which they then displayed in an exhibition entitled 'Student Realism' to show the student perspective on university life.

The exhibition is on display in the upper floor gallery of the James Mackay Hall in King's College.
