The Graduate Exhibition of the TU Dublin School of Creative Arts is the highlight of the academic year for our students and staff. This online catalogue represents the culmination of many years of full time study and gives our students the opportunity to showcase the results of their imagination, hard work and creative skills in a public arena. The exhibition features work from all our programmes and highlights the exciting and innovative range of work produced by our graduates across Fine Art, Furniture, Product, Interior, Visual Merchandising, Visual Communication Design and Creative and Cultural Industries.

The 2022 exhibition is particularly special as it is the first opportunity we have had to invite the public to our brand new East Quad Arts building and give everyone a chance to see our magnificent new studios and workshops.

The identity and design of this year’s exhibition, catalogue and website was created by Visual Communication students Marwa Noelle Ali, Conor Rice and Aisling Hannon. Their design uses manipulated type to illustrate the progression from individual broken up pixels to full letterforms, to represent the coming together of the final year cohort in the post pandemic era.

Launch June 2, 6pm
Open Daily June 3—11, 10am—5pm

Méadú

The fear of mathematics commonly known as Maths Anxiety is a global issue that manifests during primary school education. This fear stems from not understanding mathematical topics or how they can be applied leading to frustration and panic, children then begin to associate those negative with any form of mathematics.

Méadú (May-Do) aims to aid in curbing the development of maths anxiety through providing more interactive and engaging mathematics lessons for students aged between 7 to 12. The board primarily functions as an interactive multiplication table for children to learn up to their 12 times tables. The central board can be removed to uncover a maths fact sheet for use during lessons and flipped to reveal a whiteboard that offers open-ended functionality. The whiteboard when combined with the boards sliders allows children to plot points, construct shapes, create graphs etc. Without the sliders it offers a space for rough work when solving problems.
