Fine Art Foundation Degree

The aim of the Foundation Degree Fine Art course is to provide a challenging and stimulating education through contemporary fine art practice. With a focus on 'making', the practical nature of this course enables you to establish an artistic identity and to situate your artistic practice within fine art and wider contexts and communities. We aim to equip you with a range of practical making skills underpinned by a theoretical awareness of visual culture, so you can analyse, and critically reflect upon, your visual outcomes. You'll have designated studio space and access to a variety of well-equipped work facilities.Projects will include exciting directed briefs and self-initiated schemes of work, as well as collaboration with peers, galleries and other organisations. Understanding and engaging with professional fine art practice is central to this course. Therefore, visiting lecturers, visits to museums or residential opportunities in the UK and abroad form part of the wider education. Exhibiting your own work is also a priority. In addition to your End of Year Degree Show, you will have several opportunities to exhibit work throughout the course at our in-house gallery and at external venues.Career OpportunitiesThis course is a good basis from which to continue your studies with the BA (Hons) Fine Art Top-Up year or progress your own professional creative practice
