1st Year Theme | 'A Sense of Place'


Edwina Noonan c.

This is a task allocated to Year One students at the end of the first term. Each student was asked to produce a series of images based on the assigned theme: ‘A Sense of Place’. The task had no set criteria and was open to students' interpretation of what the term or theme encapsulates. The process involved a lengthy discussion about how to conceptualize the theme, a few suggestions of visual approaches, artists and photographers to explore and some key ideas surrounding issues of place. Students had two weeks to prepare images for a group critique, where issues ranging from fundamental technical concerns to issues relating to the translation of idea, context and meaning are discussed. The complete selection of the work is then selected by a 'jury' of second year students, who make a choice of ten projects.
