Students projects, and going back to school
As an art and design teacher at a 6th form college I teach my students a way of working through a project, and they often argue that it is pointless, that they should just work on a finished “perfect” idea, and not have to explore all the different ideas, materials and techniques we make themContinue reading “Students projects, and going back to school”

This is a successful image for me because: I like work that makes you have littleContinue reading “Self publicity…”
