Introducing ‘The Post With The Most’

In my continuing struggle to find alternate ways to communicate with the CGAA community while minus a reliable internet provider (i.e. creating a generalized feedback post on the group blog), I have hit upon a ‘Big Idea’.

Students are always asking me for examples of ‘best practice’ – which is an academic’s way of saying ‘the good stuff’ – student work that is especially satisfying in terms of method, technique, creativity, innovation, and management. ‘Best practice’ might mean a film review of The Fly that particularly impresses in terms of literary style, use of academic conventions, and critical insight etc. It could as easily refer to an especially evocative image from a life-drawing class, an effective digital painting, or great example of the pre-production pipeline, digital model or final animation.

This then is TutorPhil’s ‘Big Idea’.

Each week (or thereabouts), I’m going to feature on the group blog a summary entitled ‘The Post With The Most’, in which I’ll highlight and hyperlink exemplars of ‘best practice’ from the CGAA community – a digested read of a week’s creative activity.

If you’ve been particularly impressed, inspired or helped by a classmate’s work or example, then nominate it for a feature in ‘The Post With The Most’ by emailing the post-specific url and your reasons to pgomm@ucreative.ac.uk.

I want to celebrate and champion excellence, innovation, imagination, professionalism and scholarship.
