There was an activity to break the ice between all the years and to let us old folks give some great (not so great) advice to the younger years.
One of the first years (who will remain anonymous) noted that many of the third years gave the same advice or said they were looking forward to refining their practice and becoming more professional. They asked if we had been told to say these things, which we hadn't, I think that shows the natural progression of the goals of the students on this course. Going into third year most of us have found something that we're happy to do and just want to work more on our personal tone of voice and professionalising our practice.
I may have spooked a few second years because I found that year really challenging as I wasn't really sure what I was doing but now I think I have more of a 'style' going on and know what I would like to experiment with and focus on this year (printing, textures, papercut, mixing with digital media) and I feel like after the complete and utter mess that was my 505 project, I have a better idea of how to set myself a brief and can use the mistakes I made last year to help me not make those mistakes again.
