FOUNDATION COURSE The Foundation offers a year-long introduction to art- and design-based education. It allows students to develop their conceptual ideas, individually and collectively, in a wide range of media from drawing and painting to filmmaking, pattern-cutting, sculpting and installation. This experimentation opens pathways to a variety of creative disciplines from fine art to architecture. ‘All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning. Great works are often born on a street corner or in a restaurant’s revolving door.’ – Albert Camus Do It Yourself Scale, site, scenario and identity. The Foundation cohort featured as both makers and players of the year. Becoming Fiction The relation of the body to the imagined self and the exchange between atmosphere, character and audience: these self-portraits were exhibited in the Back Members’ Room in January. On Location Consulting films shot in London, we surveyed locations and analysed viewpoints, making drawings and models registering the import of these scenes, their camera angles and architectural surveys. Prop Master We made a paper replica of a flea market item before casting the original and creating copies in various materials – gradually transforming its identifiable use. Trip To Paris Cafes. Moments. Scenes. Buildings. Environments. People. Body Survey We recorded the body at 1:1, examined how it is jointed and how its movement can be exaggerated or restricted. It’s A Wrap All the ways to augment, restrain or subvert the body’s movement through garment construction – the most intimate interface between a figure and the immediate surroundings. Mind Your Head and Mind Your Step The body in relation to millinery and notional furniture/installation. Take Five One-minute films documenting work made to date – a reflection and projection. Over to You We wrote our own brief and dictated our final chapters.
