STREAMS

In the perfect art school there will be 5 streams and each will be allocated its own floor, area or department.

The streams will be: Subject Studies (dealing with identity, self, subjectivity etc.) Process Studies (workshops with adjoining classrooms), Practice Studies (two floors of studio space, one 'clean' and one 'messy'), History studies (allowing as many forms of history as possible)and Theory Studies (tracing links between prehistoric, religious, secular, political and aesthetic justifications for art and the artist).

They will all be constant streams that students can drop in and out of at will and make their own combinatory timetable from. Tutors will design projects and workshops and lectures in a synchronic rather than diachronic way, so that there are not necessarily 'Levels' or 'Year Groups' but simply 2-3 years iin which to make the most of what is on offer.
