Beyond the ceremony, commemoration, and presentation, How the process hones the students’ abilities brings sustainable benefits to the students more than any other level
To complete the teaching of the grad show, AIP students and teachers need to go through several important stages:
1Guidance on theme planning
This involves the research of the current year's students and thinking about the theme and title of the grad show.
2Guidance on visual designing
Students will design the visual communication related to the grad show theme.
3Guidance on space designing
Students will be guided by their tutors to design the flow of the exhibition, the division of space and the format of the display.
4Execution of the exhibition
Students will be involved in the curator team of the exhibition.
The grad show has the same teaching goal as the past 3 years, focusing on developing the following skills.
Exploration and analysis
In the early stage of planning and design, students need to objectively collect information, extract features, formulate exhibition directions and find theme inspiration based on the situation of current students.
Practice and innovation
When transforming the concept of the theme into a more detailed text description, visual elements and space exhibition scheme, students need to balance the novel scheme with whether it can be landed.
Reflection and promotion
In the process of producing ideas, students and tutors need to constantly discuss and evaluate the rationality and reasons of each choice, so as to promote the implementation of the whole exhibition.
Strategy and planning
The curator team needs to see the whole exhibition with a holistic view and systematic thinking, and coordinate, plan and manage every step related to the exhibition around "time".
Collaboration and empathy
Students should always maintain communication and cooperation with each other and assign their respective positions and responsibilities during the exhibition planning process. And put yourself in the shoes of others, rather than focusing on personal display.
Social connection and value
For social exhibitions, students need to communicate directly with those who watch the exhibition and exchange ideas. In this process, we finally understand the value of the graduation exhibition.
