COURSE CURRICULUM

Year 1 introduces foundational skills in drawing, visual thinking, and studio practice. Modules cover The Fine Art Toolbox, The Subject and Audience, and The Object and Installation, focusing on experimentation and critical reflection. Year 2 builds on these with advanced studio work, professional development, and contextual studies. Key modules include Strategies for Being, The Stuff of Sculpture, and Critical Issues in Fine Art, encouraging interdisciplinary approaches and public exhibitions. Year 3 emphasizes independent practice with a major studio project, dissertation, and professional portfolio. Modules like Sustaining Your Practice and Critical Issues in Fine Art: Research Project support the creation of a substantial body of work for the degree show. Throughout, students engage in critiques, seminars, and workshops to refine their artistic methodologies and theoretical understanding.
