Artists Talking : Timorous Beasties
The Steven Campbell Trust continues to support young people studying art to develop their skills.
This year we have embarked on a new project which gives an insight into artists’ and designers’ professional practice. Artists are interviewed in their places of work by pupils from Glasgow Secondary schools. Questions have been carefully selected to meet the criteria of the National 5 Design Unit.
The filming has been undertaken by the film department of The City of Glasgow College. Eight students under the guidance of award winning director Marco Federici have come together through the Young Person’s Guarantee project. The Young Person’s Guarantee is a commitment to bring together employers, partners and young people and to connect every 16 to 24 year old in Scotland to the opportunity of a job, placement, training or volunteering with employers committed to the Guarantee.
This video shows the successful design team Timorous Beasties discussing their inspiration and methodologies.
The interview will be posted on YouTube so that all schools will have access to it at a time that suits them.
The Trust hopes that, using this as a model, we will be able to produce more resources for schools.
We welcome any feedback.
