Text

Ensure that you update your project proposal text regularly. The text based descriptions of your work are an integral part of the years work and should be used as an ongoing aid and guide.

Portfolios
Start to develop your portfolio as a consistent body of work. The design and layout of your portfolio should be in response to your own personal design sensibilities.

Each sheet is a 'piece' and as such has been constructed by you; the portfolio itself, the manner of drawing, the visual ordering, the physicality of a piece as well as its content, are all aspects that contribute to others' understanding and your own exploration of the design process.

The pieces should be approached as forming the actual process of investigation and design - not a retrospective description.

The minimum size of your portfolio should be A2.
Friday 31st October

On Friday we will begin to explore our rooms and streets using animation and moving image techniques. These techniques will be employed to understand and develop further the quality of space, materiality, views, procession, light and shadow of your proposal.

Friday 14th November: Pin Up

Drawings for the pin up must be hybrid drawings.
Hybrid drawings use a combination of media and techniques (hand drawing, cad drawing, photography, collage, printmaking, 3d modelling, physical modelling) and are often composed of more than one view to tell at least two key ideas simultaneously.


The city is a phenomenon that exceeds all our capacity of description, representation and recording and, consequently, it is always experientially infinite. A street in a film does not end at the edge of the screen; it expands all around the viewer as a network of streets, buildings and life situations. It is exactly this activation of the imagination that is the invaluable function of literature and all art.
