Mothers Art

Mothers Art is a art based company located in Spotswood, although they are soon moving to South Melbourne (i think this is what he said). Mothers art focuses on design and construction to create 3D art and sculptures. Some of their work has been made for zoos, museum’s, cities and councils, theatre events, and corporate and retail. They do work for Australia as well as New Zealand.

One thing that has enabled Mothers Art to remain over the years and still have such a strong client base is their ability to change with the trends. Mothers Art first started out mainly doing advertising as Australian ads needed to be made locally. However, the laws changed and there was less work so Mothers Art changed their direction which they continued to do over the years and are still a successful business. Depending on how busy they are and what the economic situation is depends on how many people are employed there. Over the years it has changed depending on these factors.

When we were looking through their design proposals upstairs I recognised some of their work like the Christmas decorations that they had done for the city. It was a good opportunity to see a proper design proposal and how they present them to clients. I’m sure we will need to do one in our career to that will help. They also gave us some good advice on job hunting and work experience. He told us it was good to just go and see people to get our names out there as most people don’t advertise these days for jobs. He sees lots of folios throughout the year and had some good recommendations. I hadn’t really thought about a place like this for employment but now see it as a good opportunity to gain some experience in a different area. This wasn’t my favourite outing that we’ve been on but I definitely got some good pointers from them.
