The Course
Printmaking pathway
UCAS code: W150
This pathway introduces students to a broad range of printmaking processes and techniques including etching, relief printing and screen printing as well as digital imaging and photography. Students are encouraged to develop their own personal approach to the subject and to consider the integration of new technologies and traditional printmaking processes within contemporary practice.
The Fine Art course, which offers the choice of four pathways, provides a challenging and stimulating creative environment where individuals can develop their own studio practice as professional artists. The course is delivered through a series of workshops, inductions, tutorials, lectures and seminars, where students of all pathways meet to exchange ideas. There is close integration of studio practice and art theory; students are encouraged to develop an awareness of the historical and contemporary context of fine art and to critically evaluate their work and that of their contemporaries. The course is delivered by a dedicated team of practising artists and has been highly commended by both External Examiners and the recent QAA Inspection report. Each year the Visiting Artists Schedule brings students into contact with a range of nationally and internationally recognised artists such as Roger Ackling, Hamish Fulton, Chris Drury, Eileen Cooper, Richard Billingham, Albert Irvin, Basil Beattie, Alexis Harding, Claude Heath and Dennis Creffield. Students are encouraged to exhibit their work in public spaces and they are made aware of funding issues, public arts and professional practice. The course also provides opportunities to travel and study abroad and students have the option of taking part in the student exchange programme with the USA.
