Year 2 Briefing

Today is our first briefing of Year 2! These are some of the notes I took during the presentation.

Only two assessments - one larger project, one smaller

25% of grade this year goes towards final grade

Craig Barber (my tutor) back 19th October

300 word statement of intent ready for first tutorial - consider underlying concepts, concerns, approaches or arguments

Lots of learning outcomes as a large unit - go through them in detail and make sure to cater to all throughout the unit rather than panicking at the end.

PROJECT 1: made up of seminar presentation and gallery presentation

seminar things to cover: intentions and proposals, materials skills and processes, critical discussion, don't try to pack enormous amounts of stuff in, not too fussy - simple presentation slides are often the better ones.

gallery: install an example of your own work, present to a small audience, accompanying text. takes place either 23rd or 30th November.

PROJECT 2: choose 2 out of 8 skills workshops to attend. Choice between: image, object, copy, edit and learning, document, curation, text. choices go live later this term - be thinking about which you would be most interested in and fit with your practice. Image probably suits my practice best as my work currently revolves around painting. I am not yet sure which to choose from the other set of workshops. starts early December.

Studio Projects - good for creative block. can take the briefs as exactly as you want. use them as inspiration or create direct responses. helps create fresh ideas

could curate a group exhibition - book out project spaces

can use SG60 whenever there is no timetabled session. (make sure I make better use of this this year as did not last year!!)

Vice chancellors welcome back talk tomorrow 11:30

let admin and tutor know if you will be absent from a timetabled session.
