BA(Hons) Contemporary Art

To be an artist is to be attuned to difference, experimentation, and openness and to stage creative, experiential encounters between ourselves and the World. Art has personal, expressive, social, and critical dimensions. It is as diverse in its materials as it is in its outcomes. It disturbs, provokes, and reframes with wonder, vitality, and stamina. You'll be taught by a team of professional artists who work with diverse media and materials. You will be exposed to an eclectic range of practices, including painting, drawing, performance, image-making, sculpture, installation, film, digital processes, electronics, and photography. This will enable you to refine your visual, performative, and critical skills to cultivate a unique, distinctive, personal mode of contemporary artistic practice. We offer you the opportunity to: Work in a lively and dynamic studio environment. Youll be encouraged to develop your creative and conceptual thinking, supported by our widely experienced specialist tutors and technicians. Engage and experiment with the tools and technologies of other disciplines within the creative arts building to develop experimental and expanded modes of practice. Be exposed to various inspiring guest speakers and participate in live sessions and workshops delivered by professional artists outside the university.
