Let Us Be Your Guide
Last night Sam Winston gave a tour of the Summer Show. The tour was part of a series of specially commissioned guided tours of the show entitled ‘Let Us Be Your Guide’. Sam Winston is an artist and a tutor on the BA Graphic Design course at Camberwell.
The tour focussed mainly on Graphic Design, but also visited Drawing, Illustration and Painting. Using the student’s work as a starting point Sam gave short introductions about the pieces, which then led on to group discussions. Here are some of the topics that were covered; what is graphic design? personal work verses commercial work, self authorship, the role of the art college, the ethos behind the BA Graphic Design course at Camberwell and how it sits in relation to other graphic design courses, what is drawing? the use of statements to support work, the role of art in society, the role of the art gallery, time and craft. Phew!
