Things to include in the student led seminars: where you're at now, what do you plan to do looking forward, informed and influenced work, any exhibitions that have influenced your work, any wow moments, your intentions.
Make sure the seminar is focused and simple. be confident and articulate your walk clearly. the point of the presentation is to practice and develop confidence when talking about your work (something I definitely need). Don't overcomplicate the presentation, simple and clear slides. 7-10 slides, 10 minutes. roughlty a slide a minute - dont over run you will be stopped.
Be prepared for individual tutorials, what do you want/need to talk about? have your work with you (or photographs of the work) as it is difficult for tutors to give guidence without having seen the work!
One of the girls in my group was having a bit of a creative block. She was happy with where she left off at the end of last year however is now stuck with where to take her work next - this is something I regularly suffer from. Some of the other students in my group had some useful suggestions of what to do when having a creative block which I thought could be very useful in future:
Follow artists on instagram and follow artists those artists follow.
watch films and read books/passages of books. find something that stands out to you and respond to it.
Search pinterest for interesting artwork.
Do something you enjoy, not something that feels like a chore.
Your statement of intent will help inform your seminar. include what you have done and what you will do. arguments/underlying concepts/concerns/approaches.
include any specific galleries or exhibitions that have inspired your work.
