Course summary

As a developing artist you will explore, navigate, and define your own specialism within fine art and refine your critical understanding of the role of art in society. Shaped by personal interests, historical, contemporary, social, political, cultural, environmental and technological contexts, you will situate and position your work.You will work within purpose-built studio communities with access to facilities for painting, printmaking, sculpture, and performance and digital practices. There is an emphasis on materials and critical thought that synthesises thinking and making. Encouraged and led by an experienced team of educators and practising artists, you will pursue your individual interests through studio teaching, tutorials, seminars, workshops, and group critiques.You will acquire a range of creative and technical strategies to support the development and long-term sustainability of your practice. There are opportunities to collaborate and experiment with approaches, methods and materials to challenge the boundaries of your practice. Through exhibition proposals and projects, you will develop the essential skills and experience you need as a practicing artist, expand your networks, and make lifelong contacts.We have several cultural institutions on our doorstep and make regular visits to galleries and exhibitions which have included Leeds Art Gallery, the Henry Moore Institute, Yorkshire Sculpture Park, and The Hepworth. National and international trips have included events such as the Venice Biennale.
