"Concern for a 'hidden curriculum' has arisen because in some ways fine art specifically may be less understood or less easily accommodated by the prevailing 'norms' of a university as a whole. 'Fine Art' is less easily slotted into discourses about 'employability' or 'instrumental' university education and the student as 'consumer'.
My paper looks at these issues very much from the point of view of art education happening 'somewhere else', other than the university. Many college and university students participate in alternative spaces for art education, along side artists who may not have trodden the path of the fine art 'degree' in addition to their degree studies. IMAA being one example." Jenny Walden
Take a look at some of our past posts to see what the crits are all about - it;s a great way to meet others and get involved with the Art Academy.
