Visual Communication Design staff from the Massey University, Wellington School of Design are hosting a school holiday "Afternoon of Inspiration" for NCEA Level 3 Art Design Scholarship candidates.

This afternoon will be hosted by Astrid Visser who is a very experienced High School Design teacher, who has had multiple students gain scholarship including top scholars and students submitting digital moving image and traditional print submissions.

The afternoon will kick off with a presentation about integrated, award winning design projects from graduates and staff as inspiration for the critical "Beyond the Folio" page 8 of the scholarship workbook submission.

This will be followed by small group feedback sessions on the student work completed so far, as well as personalised feedforward for student's final briefs. This will include influences and technical approaches they might like to consider to drive their work to the next level.

Students will need to have boards 1 & 2 printed in draft format, or at least an A3 print out of Board 1 and 2's intended layout so far to bring in for the feedback session. It would be helpful for Moving Image applications to have a minimum1min of their 3min submission ready to share. Students are also encouraged to bring any pages they may have started for their scholarship submission as well.

This event is intended to be in-person, on campus and social distancing practices may be in-place, so numbers are limited. In the event we are in Level 3 or 4 this event will happen via Zoom and attendees will be sent a zoom link to participate.

This talk will be repeated for teachers at a later date. This is a student centred experience so we ask that only students register to attend.
