WE NEED YOUR HELP WITH RESUSCITATION!!
Pre COVID, open studios consisted of students displaying work, research material, texts etc in studio spaces where we’d have an evening of wine and walking around the department. This year, like everything else, we’re going digital.
Open studios has always been a mandatory event in the past, this year it’s up to us as the student body to maintain the community that makes NCL fine art department such a special place to study.
Continue reading “Open Studio 2020”NEW LOCKDOWN RESTRICTIONS . On 4 January 2021, the Government announced a return to national lockdown and tighter restrictions to manage the spread of Coronavirus and advised that teaching should be delivered online until at least mid-February for the majority of courses. How this affects you: There is currently no access to department studio due to Lockdown restrictions. All teaching will be taking place online. Studio Review (assessment) will be done by digital submission. Please look out for emails from Chris Jones (DPD) and your module leader on the new teaching and assessment arrangements and instructions for digital submission. Working together: We are working in partnership with you through the Student rep team, Open forum and year meetings to answer questions, help to tackle any issues that arise from this situation, and develop positive solutions together. Thank you for your co-operation and help with this. Please get in touch with your reps, module leader, Irene, Nick or Chris if you have any ideas and suggestions. Returning to campus: The University will advise us on when we are able to return to campus and studios (Links below to University FAQ on returning to campus & support) This is dependent on government policy but we want to highlight that Fine Art is in the group of subjects that the University wants to support in terms of returning to the campus once this is allowed by the government and is safe. This would involve a phased return to campus. Irene & Chris will communicate any return to campus info and arrangements to you as soon as we have clear and firm information. |
