You will explore fundamental aspects of making art through projects in sculpture, printmaking, painting, performance and video. This is complemented by history of art modules that introduce a variety of perspectives on art history.

From Semester 2 you will initiate and develop your own projects, with guidance from your studio tutor and professional technicians.

You will also organise and publicise an exhibition as part of LifeWorkArt, and gain skills in curating, installing, marketing, fundraising and project planning.

Your teaching is focused around you and your practice, supporting a self-initiated programme of studio work, driven by making in the studios and workshops. Each semester you can choose from several complementary specialist workshops in various media, and LifeWorkArt.

You’ll choose history of art modules, such as: Art and Protest, Art in the Creative City and Contemporary Art and Globalisation.

You will learn to develop and sustain self-directed studio practice, and how to direct and resource your practice appropriately.

You'll make informed decisions about working methods, materials and technical approaches, and carry out a LifeWorkArt external project.

You will write an art history dissertation with an option to take additional art history modules.

You'll undertake a self-initiated programme of studio work, resulting in the production of fully realised work for presentation in the final Degree Show.

You can also choose to undertake additional modules, such as LifeWorkArt, Art Writing, and Career Development.

The annual LifeWorkArt conference offers practical workshops and gives you the opportunity to meet recent graduates, artists, curators and arts professionals.
