This course combines fine art with art historical study, enabling you to become an academically engaged artist who understands how your practice relates to the art of both the past and present.
You’ll split your time equally between studio practice and art history and theory, exploring what has been understood as ‘art’ in different cultures and societies over time.
Working across a range of media, you’ll develop your own body of work under the guidance of artist-lecturers and visiting practitioners, and study alongside artists and cultural theorists in a stimulating research environment.
Optional modules will give you the chance to focus on topics that interest you, from African art to contemporary cinema and the contemporary art market. You’ll gain professional skills as you develop and exhibit your own artistic work in every year, preparing you for a career in the arts and cultural sectors, for example as an artist, curator, writer or educator.
The School has excellent facilities and resources. You'll work in well lit studios with 24-hour access and will benefit from versatile exhibition spaces and social areas.
Resources include:
- dedicated Mac and PC computer suites for video editing, animation and image manipulation;
-printmaking workshops for etching, relief and screen printing;
-a photography darkroom for film developing and printing;
-a woodworking and casting area;
-digital and 3D printing.
