Student Work Placements
Green Door's Student Work Placement Programme is an ongoing project that reflects our commitment to young student's studying Art who would otherwise have no access to printmaking facilities as a medium option in preparation of their course portfolios. These students are the future of printmaking.
Each year Green Door Printmaking Studio offers a limited number of week-long work placements at its Studio in Normanton, Derby to GCSE, BTEC and A/AS Level students on an arts-based course. Since our start in 2007 we have accepted and taught a total of 9 students, with ages ranging from 13 - 17 years old. Because the environment in an open access fine art printmaking workshop is quite unlike that found in the usual office or retail placement locations, Green Door has developed a proactive approach to candidate selection that we hope ensures that those accepted are the students most likely to benefit from the experience we offer. As part of the application process the student is asked to choose from a selection of project proposals. If called for interview the student will then have the opportunity to present their initial response to the proposal and negotiate an agreed project brief. During the work placement the student will then be required to produce print-based work to meet the brief of their assigned project. The successful candidate will therefore be the student that can demonstrate the discipline and self-motivation to produce work of high quality during the work placement and with a serious intent to study art at a higher level. Previous experience of printmaking is, however, not essential. |
