Teaching is still a huge challenge keeping ahead of the day and the syllabus and making sure I know what I am doing on the right day at the right place at the right time. I cannot help but make comparisons to the UK system and particularly Portsmouth.
The model is similar but so different, the one thing I like is the ability for students to move across disciplines with a greater ease as a form of elective. Skills are fundamental to know and then be able to have the confidence to fly with it. I am still trying to get my head round what is a sophomore , a junior or a freshman !
We visited the SCAD ( Savannah College of Art and Design ) Graduate Fair at the International Conference Centre , to see what was on offer, it was an extraordinary and fascinating sight , over a hundred stalls for students to visit , show portfolios , make contacts and look for internships and jobs. I loved observing the beautifully designed young men and women clutching portfolios eager and nervous to make their mark. We chuckled as a young man exited the centre in his sharp spanking new cream suit , a black shirt and tie and proceeded to put back his piercings and light up a cigarette! The extra bonus is the free ferry service on the susie king taylor that takes you across the river on a magical water tour of three stops to get a fabulous view of the river front.
