Í deildinni gefast tækifæri til að þróa áfram eigin sjálfstæðu vinnubrögð. Það er enginn að halda í hendina á þér. Samtal við kennara eða aðstoð við tæknileg vandamál eru auðfundin ef þú ert forvitin og dugleg að spyrja. Með samtali lærði ég að þróa verkin mín lengra, og sjá með fleiri augum en mínum tveimur. Það var mjög gagnlegt að vera í opnu vinnurými, þar sem bekkjarsystkini eru ekki langt undan fyrir næstu umræðu, kaffipásu og tilvistarkreppu.
