Contents
This programme takes practice as its core concern. Knowledge is developed through the processes of making art, theoretical and historical considerations. Contemporary Fine Art practice has already eroded the constraints of convention and these can be negotiated as aspects of practice, point of reference and-or return. The students may work across the material practices of digital media, installation, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture and time-based media. Integral theory seminar advance an understanding of contemporary art in relation to socio-historic situations and material and aesthetic conditions. The making of work, surrounding discourses and forms of display, will be understood as aspects of the practice as a whole. A vibrant exchange of ideas takes place in the studio, through formal seminars and discussions and visits to museums and galleries. An individually negotiated programme of work extends knowledge of Fine Art through systematic research, production and criticism.
Full-time students attend up to five days a week;part-time students attend the 'core days' of Tuesday and Wednesday.
