Course programme

Critical Fine Art Practice places equal emphasis on theory and arts practice. Theory includes theories of art, philosophy and cultural theory. Production methods vary from old to new technologies, from drawing and painting to websites and video, and are determined by your motivations. You will be encouraged to consider the role of the curator in moving your work into the public realm.

Course structure

Year 1 reviews your portfolio and introduces a wide range of media and processes, alongside discussion of theoretical texts. You will begin to define the nature of your practice, producing practical and written work for assessment. A studio exhibition before the winter vacation is an early occasion to work together and to present work to an audience.

During year 2 you will develop your critical engagement with theory and practice. Central to this year is an exhibition that you will work on as a group, as well as contributing individual work.

Year 3 involves more self-directed work. You will make an individual presentation to the year group of your work across theory and practice. This presentation will help you prepare for your final exhibition. Emphasis is also placed on documenting and archiving your work as a key feature of art practice. You will also research and write a final major essay, working closely with the course team.

Career and progression opportunities

We will prepare you for life as a working artist through professional practice sessions, including advice on funding and financial support, organisation and administration, along with a session on postgraduate applications.

Many graduates from this course become artists, including Keith Tyson, who won the Turner Prize in 2002, Helen Chadwick, Ivan Morrison, and Harold Offeh. Others have found work in related fields such as arts administration, curating and new media, and some take up careers associated with art in community contexts, and teaching.
