OPEN STUDIOS
Thursday 9 May 2024 (4-8pm) in the Fine Art studios!
If you have not been involved in OPEN STUDIOS before this is when we tidy up ALL of the studios and you present work in progress in your studio space. Those of you sharing studios with Year 4 students please be mindful of the fact that final year students will stay in the studios in preparation for the degree show until all Year 1-3 have moved out.
Open studios is a social event – not assessment– it is entirely up to you what you present in your space. This might include sketchbooks, documentation, work in progress or completed pieces . As you know, the Year 1-3 assessments take place the week after (w/c 13 May), so it will also mean we have tidy spaces ready to present work for assessment.
Health & Safety and Security: You need to have your space ready by 3.30pm on Thursday 9th May for a Health and Safety walk around by Joe – so think carefully about any equipment you may need and any health & safety checks and risk assessments you may need to organise. If you are not sure then speak to your tutor or module leader. Be especially careful of running electric cables across walkways and blocking fire corridors and exits.
You are responsible individually for your own work, so you need to consider ethics, & check any electrical equipment you are using and – very importantly – turn it off at the end of the event. You may want to discuss Open Studios (health & safety, signage, security etc) with other members of your studio and work collaboratively.
