OCAD LECTURE SERIES with Tim Edgar

Nov 04, 2023

Here is 5 minutes from one of Tim's 2 hour lectures where students get to learn, discuss, develop and be inspired!

This one was titled 'MOVEMENTS and CONTEXTS'. Tim's extraordinary knowledge and ability to capture the attention of his audience is why we love him so much at OCAD - I'm sure from watching this clip you wanted to see the whole lecture as you are drawn into his session!


Tim's Lectures draw huge audiences from across our OCAD courses and, as he builds up these amazing discussions, they are put into archives to be enjoyed by current and future students, when they want.


OCAD Lecture series is a channel accessible by all of our students and sees, as well as Tim, masterful artists giving demonstrations, Career sessions and University visits talking about their courses... although not always mandatory, they attact many students who can gain incredible learning and development that feeds into their every day practice as future artists.
