New ‘Artist in Residence Qualification’
ArtyBird is a Leicester based City & Guilds approved online learning
centre, offering art & design qualifications. From September this year a
brand new qualification became available through ArtyBird called the
7823 Artist in Residence certificate. The 7823 Artist in Residence
certificate was designed by Deborah Bird for ArtyBird and accredited by
City & Guilds in 2005, we believe that this is the first accredited
course of its kind in the country.
The award consists of seven flexible assignments designed to document
and build ‘artist in residence’ activity, including 5 proposals and two
‘live’ projects. All course work is submitted and assessed by email,
making it possible to study towards the qualification at your own pace
from your own studio or home. You will be given a personal tutor and a
CD-Rom containing an Artist in Residence ‘tool kit’.
Projects can include the following type of activity – demonstration,
workshop, field trip, artist talk and /or a body of location-based work
(permanent or temporary).
Students will have access to electronic portfolio building and a global
database for qualified ‘artists in residence’. Inclusion in the ArtyBird
database will be dependant on successful completion of the award
together with recent CRB checks, this can be organised for an additional
fee through ArtyBird. The ArtyBird Artist in Residence database facility
will be available from September 2007.
