The aim of this programme is to provide an honours level in the fine arts culture, with the focus on the public, commercial, collaborative and studio aspects of professional practice.
We will empower you to manage your own creative aspirations and careers, in the professional practice of fine art and in the associated creative industries. We will support you to develop and apply skills to a professional level in drawing, painting, digital and mixed interdisciplinary media, while developing your understanding of a range of concepts, theories and approaches to fine art and professional practice.
You will also develop a unique set of interpersonal, transferable and employability skills, working collaboratively to develop and produce industry-standard work. All students have access to their own studio space as well as access to bespoke workshop areas to support multi-disciplinary approaches to fine art practice. Students artwork is often exhibited in our beautifully restored 1930s gallery, which has hosted work by Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin.
This programme offers a distinctive, broad, foundation for your creative development and learning experience, allowing you to establish your personal fine art identity. Our fine art culture - linking studio based practice, professional practice and contextual studies - provides you with a degree of flexibility in achieving your personal objectives.
Throughout the course, we will encourage you to participate in exhibitions, competitions, public art projects and study visits as far afield as New York. Visiting lecturers enrich the programme further and provide valuable insight into various areas of professional practice.
Blackpool School of Arts has many specialist facilities and resources including state-of-the-art photography studios, photography darkroom, 3D studio and print room. You will also have access to a unique creative environment with contemporary studios, think spaces and a stunning public gallery.
