About Fine Art

Fine Art

The Fine Art programme provides a studio based education in Fine Art, with emphasis on personal creative development. Fine Art describes any art form developed primarily for aesthetics or concept rather than utility. Students are introduced to the skills and philosophies of the practicing artist, and the course prepares them for active careers in the visual arts or for further study to Masters degree level.

Fine Art offers a series of very varied career paths. The course aims to instill individualism and independence. Graduates may build careers as practising artists. Other careers include teaching, photography, multimedia and crafts, and students may find employment in art criticism, as exhibition organisers and art handlers, in foundries, and as technicians and craft assistants.
