Week 10: Feedback discussion 2

1. Introduction and Outline of Class

• This class aims to provide critical feedback to all students. Each person will be asked questions of their work and will be expected to offer background thinking, process information and thoughts regarding how the work might progress from this point.

• Students are expected to have a good understanding of their classmates particular interests

• Priority will be placed on the artist’s ideas for resolution

• All students are expected to have prioritised their output and be able to explain this to the group work ready for discussion and to take an active role in the consideration of work.

• Each discussion of an individual’s work will take between approximately twenty minutes

2. Class Aims

• Students will come to conclusions about where the strengths lie in their work and be able to articulate this as well as being adaptive in response to the suggestions of others.

• Connections between the work of different students will be made and references exchanged

3. Independent Study

• Students are expected to collate the responses to their work in their journal.

• Students should, at this level of study be clear about the strengths in their work. The semester’s output needs to be organised accordingly.
