Staff Development Day, June

The day involved all staff presenting their creative practices, a Mac and a screen printing session.  As part of the staff development day we all experimented with screen printing- image above.
A really enjoyable day, with a real insight into all the processes demonstrated and staff professional practices.

Many thanks for the great opening and encouraging words from Les Bicknell http://www.lesbicknell.blogspot.com/.

Preparation for the final show

The preparations for the final show have begun and we all can't believe how fast this year has gone. As usual the whole studio is cleared out in preparation for the walls being painted and work to be placed. It is at this point the students wish they had listened to the tutors and not dropped so much paint on the floor!

Studio spaces on the Art Foundation

All students on the art foundation get their own studio space, if you are working on a large scale on paintings or sculptures then we accommodate to give you enough space, if your a designer working on layouts, branding or advertising we give you a lovely little booth near to the computers! Both of our studios have a great working environment where everyone can share ideas and focus on developing their practice.  Here's a few pics to give anyone interested in the course an idea...

Last week of term

The Easter holidays are almost here but there is still lots going on this week. The week opened with critiques on the personal confirmatory study. Today everyone is having one to one tutorials to discuss their creative concepts for their research papers. Tomorrow more critiques with the Fine Art and New Media tutors.

Yesterday the group met to discuss plan for their final show and agreed on a poster design- Well done Fred the design is coming on! Look forward to see the end result.
