Fine Art is the creation and the study of visual art. It educates and inspires students to pursue a career as an artist or to follow a wide range of other creative practices and career pathways associated with art and creativity. Our course gives you the flexibility to experiment across a range of specialist disciplines which include drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, video, photography, digital media and installation art. When you join us, you will study options in painting, sculpture, printmaking, video and photography, while also studying drawing and contextual and professional studies. As you progress into year two you’ll develop your individual studio practice in one or more of these areas. You’ll then have the opportunity to explore a range of approaches to fine art via projects, workshops and self-directed study. In the final year you’ll develop your individual creative practice, culminating in an exciting exhibition that is part of DMU’s Festival of Creativity. **Key features** * DMU is ranked in the top 15 for Art courses in the UK, according to the Guardian University Guide 2021. * We embed employability and professional practice throughout the three years of study and cover a wide range of topics that include an introduction to studio practice, contextual and professional studies, and art practice and presentation. * Benefit from access to a dedicated Fine Art studio space throughout the course and from workshops covering the practical aspects of printmaking, sculpture, photography, video, digital media techniques, painting and the skills associated with contemporary approaches to drawing. * Join the list of Fine Art students who have exhibited at the Handmade Festival, the Two Queens gallery, the Attenborough Arts Centre and a host of other prestigious venues across both the UK and internationally. * Our Fine Art graduates leave DMU qualified to work in a wide variety of careers in fields including arts administration, conservation and restoration, art therapy, and film and television production. * Our students can enhance their studies with a trip abroad through DMU Global.

Structure: Individual studio practice, group projects, workshops, group criticisms, lectures, seminars, study trips and one-to-one tutorials form the basis of this studio-based taught course. The first year is designed to develop the key skills that every artist needs as the foundation of their practice. In the second semester the emphasis of teaching in the Drawing module changes to enable you to synthesise your learning into a self-directed creative project of your own devising. You will be supported by regular tutorials and studio crits, as well as art history tuition. In the first semester of the second year you will be able to choose a specialist area. From semester two of the second year until the end of the course, you will work on your own individual creative interests and develop your potential as an artist. The course culminates with an exhibition of your work – your first engagement as a professional artist. Our teaching staff are research-active artists, who bring cutting-edge insights drawn from experience of their own practice and professional life into the studio, workshops and lecture theatres. They are supported by a wide range of visiting artists. Contact hours: You will be taught through a combination of lectures, tutorials, seminars, group work and self-directed study. Assessment is through coursework (presentations, essays and reports) Your precise timetable each year will depend on the optional modules you choose to take; however, in your first year you will normally attend around 13 hours of timetabled taught sessions (lectures and tutorials) each week, and we expect you to undertake at least 21 further hours of independent study to complete project work and research.
