A new semester dawns for the BA in Graphic Arts at Winchester School of Art and we have another exciting schedule of events for ‘Insights from the Field’. As our year 3 students approach graduation, we have tried to tailor the programme to support this process, offering opportunities for students to talk to key industry professionals to help them shape portfolios that meet their needs.
Sessions will be on Wednesdays from 10 to 12.00 in LTA and many will be followed by a workshop in the third year studios.
Here is the full programme;

09th Mar. A specialist photographer, to be confirmed.
16th Mar. Typographer Tom Foley, from international typeface designers, Dalton Maag, talks about his work.
After the Easter break, we will be running a series of 1:1 portfolio surgery days run by some previous contributors to the Insights programme.

These sessions are open to students from all pathways on the BA Graphic Arts programme.
