Your tutor writes a critical report on your progress each term in response to a written statement of your own.

You will produce work for studio critiques that take place in term one and two.
As a first-year student, you’ll contribute to the Work-in-progress Show, held at the beginning of the spring term. Your work isn’t expected to be resolved at this stage, but it’s an opportunity to take risks and try new materials and ideas. As this is in a gallery context, it includes the question of spectatorship and enables you to reflect upon the efficacy of the visual forms and concepts with which you have been working.
