PAINTING THE WALLS

Dear students,

I want to ask for some volunteers to help us paint the studiowalls for the open day.
On thursday (preferably in the morning).
Then it will be dry in the afternoon so we can install things there.
Please mail me if you can do it.

thanks!

GRA PARTY

OPEN DAG

Open Dag 26 Jan Fr. (10am-8pm)
Traditional Rietveld open dag exhibition is going to place in the Rietveld Building on 26th Jan. We, as graphic design department will be repeating our “The Total Library Exhibition” for the visitors in the studio place of our department.

NATURE WANTED TO

Nature wanted to recreate him in another form
We lost one of our tree behind the Rietveld building just next to the river today. Everybody who has memories under his shadow will remember him nicely. I couldn’t count his age because it had been out from his roots, but I guess he had lived there for some generations of Rietveld and will be continuing his life with his spirit around.
