And the winner is.......

The annual 'Context Quiz' was won by first year undergraduate student Alison Smith. As an  Illustration student she 'wrestled' (not literally of course) the title from Graphic Arts and Design who won it last year. 

Alison scored an excellent 31 out of 45 and reassured me that most of what I try to impart actually go's in!. Questions ranged from subjects as diverse as The Enlightenment, Friedrich Nietzsche, Emile Zola and 'the Belly of Paris', Dylan Thomas and alliteration, Picasso, Velasquez, artistic purity versus commercial pollution, David Hockney and A Rakes Progress and contemporary 'Renaissance man David Shrigley. 

Great fun! Well done Alison. Gary Spicer
