Through their research\, the students created new designs – posters\, booklets and mo dels - inspired by the stories and artefacts they had discovered\, which w ill be shown alongside historic photographs\, documents and artefacts.\n\n The exhibition is hosted by Graphic Design and Illustration BA (Hons)\,  LJMU Special Collections &\; Archives and LJMU Library and will be ope ned in a private view on Wednesday\, 4 October by Vice-Chancellor Professo r Mark Power.\nSelection of student work\nAlice Muirhead\, Designs for Sta ined Glass\nThese designs show key figures from LJMU’s history such as e ducational pioneers Fanny L Calder and Irene Mabel Marsh and Littlewoods t ycoon Sir John Moores. They also celebrate the contribution of LJMU studen ts over the last 200 years across the fields of arts\, science\, health\, technology\, domestic crafts and physical education. Ideas for these desig ns were inspired by a range of photographs and documents held in LJMU’s archives.\n\nHannah Jones\, Modern Day War Cake Recipe\nThis risograph pri nt illustrates and updates Fanny Calder’s famous Economical War Cake rec ipe which reflects the impact of wartime rationing\, particularly in its s ubstitution for butter with animal dripping as a cheaper fat alternative! Published 29 May 1914\, the original recipe was written by Calder as one r esponse from the field of Domestic Science to the dramatic impact of the F irst World War on the British population. Later recipes published by F L C alder College demonstrate even greater nutritional deficiencies during the inter-war period with other suggested substitutions including using potat oes as a replacement for meat.\n\nEthan McQuirk\, The Rules and Regulation s of The IM Marsh College of Physical Education \nA concertina booklet hi ghlighting some surprising early entrance requirements from Irene Mabel Ma rsh’s College of Physical Education relating to the appearance and depor tment of its female students. These included rules against bobbed hair and other fashionable styles in the 1920s\, the necessity to be over 5'3"\, t o be of a good social position\, have no regional accent\, and be educated at a high-class school. McQuirk contrasts these requirements with the ach ievements of current-day female athletes.\n\nDan Griffiths\, Walton House Artefacts\nThese models explore how student occupiers may have passed the time at Walton House during the many 1970s Liverpool Polytechnic Student U nion sit-ins for improved student welfare. Griffiths took inspiration from the SU newssheets and memorabilia within the archive which demonstrate th e activities\, tactics\, and motivations behind the protests\, such as cap ping rising accommodation fees and offering more support for students with childcaring responsibilities.\n\nMatt Burke\, Student Life\nThese waterco lours showing current art school student activities are inspired by images of student life in The Comet\, a publication produced by students at The Liverpool School of Art in the early 1900s\, for which the archive hold co pies from 1900-1913.\n\nVisit the exhibition\n\nDates/times:  05 – 27 O ctober 2023  Monday – Thursday 9am-9pm\, Friday 9am – 6pm\n\nVenue:\n Atrium Gallery\nThe John Lennon Art and Design Building\n2 Duckinfield Str eet\nLiverpool L3 5RD\n\nDesigners: \nAbi Exon\nAlice Muirhead\nCharlotte Wood\nCora O'Gorman\nDan Griffith\nEthan McQuirk\nHannah Jones\nHolly Ban ks\nJessica Phillips\nJoe McDonough\nMatt Burke\nMike Fearon\nMillie Hynes \nVivianna Caldeira ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.artinliverpool.com/wp-content/upload s/2023/10/plasma-screen-visuals-2-bold-text-bigger-size-.webp LOCATION:John Lennon Art and Design Building\, Duckinfield Street\, Liverpo ol\, L3 5RD\, Liverpool\, United Kingdom GEO:53.405426;-2.96999 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Duckinfield Street\, Liverp ool\, L3 5RD\, Liverpool\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=John Lennon Art and Design Building:geo:53.405426,-2.96999 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20230326T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0000 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:BST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
