The World on Screen… An extraordinary year has required an extraordinary effort from staff and students alike. As our face-to-face learning transitioned to virtual classrooms, studios and workplaces, we all remained nimble and honed our problem-solving skills. Both our teaching and learning styles were adapted so that we were able to continue seamless delivery, and really make the most of our new digital world and some of the incredible digital tools we have at our disposal. Some of the innovations that have been introduced include:
The Virtual Print Lab The Virtual Print Lab was established in March 2020. With significant help from our technicians, one of our Epson P800s was relocated to ‘home/work’ and this has enabled live printing with our newest cohort of Certificate IV students and continued print outcomes for our February group. The use of job sheets to instruct the print technician (teacher) ensures that students have continued to make informed choices about their print outcomes. Prints have been meaningfully evaluated using scans of prints together with one on one discussions during class time.
The EOY Exhibition VIRTUAL We are excited to present our first Virtual Exhibition in 2020. A huge amount of research has gone into the delivery of our gallery spaces this year, and we hope that the virtual experience is one that makes the most of both our digital medium and the flexibility that a world without architectural or financial limitations affords.
