"Shell Drift" is an exhibit of cast sculpture and masks from Materials 2 class under Salvador Joel Alonday (2nd Term 2016-17). Uniting these plates into a cohesive installation are on-site murals by Elijah Abad and Iñigo Diaz. 

Like drifted shells washed ashore, the discord of plates in varying degrees of success unite as a symphony with the flow of figurative and abstract forms on the gallery wall. "Shell Drift" attests to art as a process of transfer and transformation.

The disciplines of painting, visual communications, industrial design and  interior design commence a conversation emanating from basic applications of figure drawing techniques, textures or finishing for furniture and other design  products, and lighting through the design of thematic lamps and abstract forms of paper. Materials are explored through methods of drawing, painting, cutting, weaving, assemblage and the study of chemical reactions among industrial  substances. And overall, themes are convergence points for modes of collaboration providing students with opportunities for creative teamwork, negotiation  and shared lessons in costing and logistics. 

“Opus Modus” is the title given to the sundry of productions guided by SFAD  faculty members Salvador Joel Alonday, Marcelo Alonzo, Jesus Flores, Paolo  Amorsolo Jacob and Mutya Teodoro-Sambile in the conduct of their respective courses.  The exhibit extols ways of  learning through ways of making, and thinking through those very methods.   Read through a recollection of René Magritte’s simple yet cryptic statement of what is— is not a pipe— varied concerns converge into expressions and questions about art educa-tion’s potential and ploy, through materials and methods that relay youthful  play and illumination. 

 Then too, there is room for unexpected turns. A weaving could abort its initial  goal. An idea could collapse into a new inception.  This gallery is after all a laboratory for re-thinking and re-making. Divergent ways commute into new and cohesive interactions.
