Insights from the Field returns after the summer break on the 7th of October. In 2015/16 we have an exciting new format, and even more ways for Graphic Arts students at WSA to engage with the creative industries at first hand.
Sessions will start at 9.30am in LTA. Each week, there will be a lecture or presentation, we will then move upstairs to studio 3025 for more a more intimate discussion based session between 11.15 & 1pm. On some weeks there will also be a workshop, after lunch, allowing students to work alongside visiting practitioners and talk to them informally. We will also be providing the opportunity for selected Year 03 students to design and print a poster for each event, which will then be presented to the practitioner after their talk.
