Theory Resit paper

Monday 4th February in Room 187 at 3.15pm

Last chance to pass. Non-attendance is a straight fail.

Four candidates should attend and by now you should know who you are.

SOCO and Medical Research

This is required before the results for the Constructed Image workshop can be entered into the college admin system.

Please bring your report on Wednesday 30th- Jon will have a box with him in studio 19 where you can leave them.

In flagrante

You will struggle to find a copy, but here are some links that might help anyone curious:

Chris Killip where are you?

Thatcher 'no society' quote

Wikipedia on the 1984 Miners' strike

Get Carter: North East location tour

The image below (the first in the book) of the painter's blatant artistic licence clearly states Killip's intention - to create a fiction - one that serves his own truth. Objectivity gives way to subjectivity.


Your comments would be appreciated.
