How to use AA2A
This page aims to guide you through the most useful parts of the website, advise you how to find out who the AA2A staff are in your college and give you details on how to find the AA2A artists most relevant to your interests.
Find AA2A staff and artists from your college page
click the link below and then click on your college to get to their page. This gives you the details of the AA2A coordinator (usually a member of the lecturing staff) and the AA2A administrator (not all colleges use them, but they are usually admin staff). The staff should be able to tell you more about your AA2A scheme.
The images on this dedicated college page are artists from your college past and present. There are also a list of links to all the artists. If you want to refresh or reload this page the images will randomly change taking you through a mini gallery of all your colleges images. If you hover over an image it will tell you who the artist is. If you click on the image it will link to that artists page.
Find the AA2A artists most relevant to your interests
Use the search facility at the top of every webpage to do a search of the text on the website.
Search by area of interest
If you type in glass you will find AA2A artists past and present who are working in this area and the colleges that offer this facility. NB: Look carefully on the page you are taken to, to find out if glass is their area of interest or just a chance word in the text.
Search by name
You can even just type in the first name of someone you have met in college who you think may be an AA2A artist to check if they are listed and find out what they are working on
NB: if your college has still not sent us artists information ask them to send it in!
Contacting artists
We would advise that the best chance of a response will come from contact with the current AA2A artists on the 21 schemes around the country. You will find them (for all the AA2A colleges that have sent us information) by clicking the appropriate links on the webpage below. This will give you artists images, statements, weblinks and their contact email or phone number. If you wish to contact an artist with a question about their work please contact them by email if possible. Most artists are very open to enquires but please be patient if they do not respond quickly. Although it is not a requirement of the scheme that artists interact with students, in evaluation feedback the commonest complaint from artists was that they wanted more opportunities to benefit students.
