Field trips, as determined by the studio staff, to attend exhibitions, galleries, or fine art fairs will regularly form part of the syllabus. The students will work in small groups towards a final project in which they take responsibility for the presentation of their practice work to an audience using an appropriate format (e.g. exhibition, publication, public screening etc.)
