Course Overview

For almost 120 years, Fine Art at Falmouth has challenged students to develop a practice that engages with the most pressing issues of today and tomorrow. On this Fine Art MA, you'll learn to build a sustainable practice as an artist while navigating the context of global economic, political, social and ecological change.

You'll have the opportunity to collaborate and build networks globally, all while enjoying the flexibility of online study. Through peer-led learning, mentoring, and guest lectures with a range of expert professionals, you'll create exhibitions, events and a curated body of work.

You will:

• Benefit from a vigorous programme of online guest lectures, workshops and masterclasses led by professionals from across the globe

• Have the opportunity to collaborate with and develop an international network of art practitioners and peers

• Apply critical reflection to define and articulate creative intent and purpose; analyse your practice about specific themes to develop a reflective, adaptive and resilient practice.

• Build an understanding of the historical and contemporary contexts that situate your practice about the art world's complex global networks and positionalities

• Consider the social, environmental and ecological impact of your acceptable art practice and how it responds or poses solutions to global challenges.
