About A Slow Commute

20 European Art Students were walking from Gent to Brussels and from Brussels to Gent, from April 23 until May 3, 2013, and this year they are walking from Berlin City Center to the wide wide East together in one group. The "Märkische Schweiz" is their goal – 20km away from the Polish boarder...

A Slow Commute

about A Slow Commute

The IP 'City - Landscape - Stream: A slow Commute' aims to increase the volume of student mobility by bringing together 25 art students specializing in illustration/drawing. During the three years of the IP different student groups will join in the project. The students will jointly undertake a walk which will bring them into contact with the transition from city to more rural area and vice versa. The IP will take place during three consecutive year in three different countries: the itineraries will be Maidstone/London - London/Maidstone, Gent/Brussels – Brussels/Gent, Halle/Leipzig – Leipzig/Halle. During the walk students will be asked to render their experiences in their drawings and to jointly reflect upon the changes they encounter in the landscape as they move from a more rural area to a metropolis of from a metropolis to a more rural area.

Illustration students or students of drawing usually work on their own; the interaction with fellow-students, let alone international fellow-students, is often limited. An international project can help them to reflect on their own work within a broader framework, the personal experience which they will gain from the project will enrich their illustration work. Students are expected to draw during the programme, but in addition they can also use other media to reflect on their experiences (sound, video, photography, …)

The project will also contribute to an increase of staff mobility: staff members from all participating institutions will be involved in the project. In the country where the project takes place, a larger involvement is expected of local staff members. The staff members will give feedback on the progress of the work that is created as a response to the journey. The feedback coming from teachers with different cultural and educational backgrounds will be enriching not just for the students, but for the staff members as well. It is expected that the participation in the project, the reflection on the progress and the outcomes will stimulate the staff members to critically reflect on their own and each other’s approaches to art education. These critical reflections will be brought together and evaluated at the end of the 3-year project and will enable the participants to identify and implement good and possibly innovative practices in dealing with the learning processes of art students and the learning outcomes. The contact between staff members, the joint monitoring of student groups and the formal evaluation moments of the students’ work and the project itself will also bring about a greater transparency between higher education qualifications gained at the participating art institutions.

The institution that welcomes students and staff from the partner institutions in a particular year is expected to set up a programme to prepare students for the walk and to provide input with regard to the geographical and social history of the region through which they will walk. This multidisciplinary approach will enhance the students’ awareness of other regions in Europe and will also enrich their personal work. Thus the project will give students the opportunity to use psychogeographical and other methodologies to explore the journey between the art institution, the country surrounding a metropolis and the metropolis itself.
