Structure

By retaining single subject degrees in Fine Art at undergraduate level, Camberwell offers students the chance to study Painting, Sculpture, Photography and Drawing in-depth, while still enabling students to access cross-course teaching and facilities, as well as work with their peers in other Fine Art areas.

All undergraduate Fine Art students at Camberwell attend cross-course crits and tutorials throughout their course, even though they are primarily based in their own subject areas.

• Unit 1: Introduction to BA Drawing, Painting, Photography and Sculpture
• Unit 2: Defining the subject - what is Sculpture?
• Unit 3: Critical context and reflective practice
• Unit 4: Exploring subject possibilities - materiality

• Unit 5: Options - extended contexts
• Unit 6: Presentation and exhibition
• Unit 7: Defining a context for your work
• Unit 8: Presentation, collaboration and development

• Unit 9 - part 1: Context - dissertation, work placement or live project
• Unit 9 - part 2: Personal and professional development - portfolio (includes contextual statement, evaluative report, digital portfolio)
• Unit 10: Individual programme of study
