Course Description
This class introduces you to a range of artists' and designers' working practices using a project devised to encourage innovation, experimentation and risk taking. We aim to provide an inclusive experience for all those who wish to participate, whether your major is in art and design or other, unrelated subjects. We will focus on fine art and design-based practices. The class includes: site visits to major galleries as well as 'off the beaten track' experiences; visits to fine artists' and designers' studios - including graphic, fashion and 3D designers - not normally available to the general public. These artists and designers will show you their work and describe to you their professional practice. Using the well equipped studios of the Faculty of Art and Design at Kingston University, you will have a studio base for your drawing and conceptually-based project. This will become the focal point for group discussion and evaluation with your faculty tutors of your own personal project. We will encourage you to debate and discuss with the group in an informal manner where all students will feel comfortable and at ease with their surroundings.
