Hope you all had a good break and are looking forward to getting back to work.
Quite a long half term - 7 weeks for FDA2! This is a short week for the 2nd years only - so FDA1 still have a bit of extra time to finish their task. This is quite a full on term for everyone, so be prepared to knuckle down - but the days are getting longer and hopefully this winter will be a short one. Lots of stuff to look forward to. There is a new Principle now, Yanik Patel - so we are expecting a few changes. There are also some things for 'us' to worry about - like inspections, and you are all aware of changes in the world of education - so... exciting times ahead.
Timetable week starting Monday January 3rd. FDA2
Thursday January 6th
We don't start until Thursday with a full day of C&C with Gary Neill. You have a session in the morning starting at 10am SHARP!! The room has a new layout and it might be a bit awkward at first to set up the session the way Gary wants it - so be on time please. Last term you had a double session because of the snow - Gary want's to avoid this and would prefer to run a practical exercise in the afternoon - so bring with you the portrait exercise I gave you last year and we will use Gary to crit and help you finish this one off - It's an important brief and how you present it is part of the project.
Friday January 7th
Briefing for the Packaging and 3D module. This is another important day and I'm starting at 10am sharp again - you need to be ready to think and listen here - some of you found it hard to get your heads around what was required from the last module for the first couple of weeks so you must be on time and ready to listen. I really want to get past the stage of spoon feeding you and telling you what to do next - you all need to start working on your own much more and directing the project yourselves. I will also be talking to you about other important things this term, your marking and the program for the rest of the year.
Because of the changes in the room layout - I strongly recommend that everyone gets themselves a large, cheap plastic box or tub for their stuff that can go under the tables - part of the studio has been sectioned off and is no longer 'ours' - but we should be able to avoid the problems of people muscling in on our space and computers.
