Fine Art BA (Hons)

This practice-based course allows you to explore and experience Fine Art within a contemporary context and includes possibilities in painting and drawing, sculpture, time-based and lens-based media, textiles, printmaking, and interdisciplinary studio contexts. Studio practice is underpinned by the relationship between theory and practice, with a view to you becoming an informed practitioner in charge of your artistic journey, research, and thinking. The diverse and exciting nature of contemporary Fine Art is represented in the design and delivery of the course; whilst the emphasis is on practice, this is underpinned by a strong theoretical and contextual element. You will gain practical and workshop skills that are then applied to studio projects at Levels 4 and 5 and your own autonomous practice at Level 6. Whilst approximately 75% of your time at Level 6 will be occupied with studio modules, you will have the option of theory modules to suit all learning styles, from a short essay and presentation to an extended essay or 8,000-10,000-word dissertation.
