For every studio project, try to choose something new to include in your workflow: new technology, new approach, new theory, new literature. With this approach, after 8 semesters in school, you will have learned 8 new skills on top of all the other things you learn in the regular courses.
Imagine you need to catch a plane to your dream holiday destination. Except it's not a plane but our studio activities. And it's not your dream destination in fact it is your dream destination.
When we discuss, when someone speaks, when a guest gives a talk, put down your phone and listen. And think. And ask.
Leave our studio / kitchen / computers / devices in an equal (or better) condition than you found them. Clean up after yourself and create the best environment for your classmates.
The greatest value of school often comes not from the education itself, but from the friendships and social connections you make. Offer your help to your peers, ask for help from them, play games together, grab a beer, visit exhibition openings, go to concerts...
Sometimes life, work, health, or just sheer bad luck create circumstances that prevent you from keeping up with your schoolwork and meeting deadlines. When this happens, let your teacher(s) know as soon as possible so that we can look for solutions together. It’s always better to look for solutions ahead than to look for excuses afterwards.
