MA - Master of Arts
Fine Art
Taught
This course will advance, widen and deepen your existing fine art practice and enable your progress through practice-led research. Dialogic exchange is at the heart of this course with regular informed critical discussion supported by dynamic group work, seminars, collaborative projects and individual tuition.
This course cradles all specialisms within contemporary art practice such as installation, moving image, painting, performance, sculpture, text and sound. The core seminars will use group work to explore the wider field of practice and theory within the discipline, and nuance discussions about your own work through an individual tutorial programme.
Working with subject specialists, you will be introduced to a range of practice-led research approaches, advancing your knowledge of analytical methods and helping you to develop critical approaches to your own practice.
The course will explore your creative ambitions across various academic, practical and professional contexts. The course begins with a peer-to-peer sharing of personal intentions for your developing practice, and progresses to a conclusive moment of public sharing, where you will materialise theories, concepts, techniques and processes as resolved artwork. Throughout the course you will be supported to articulate your ideas in visual, oral, written and material forms.
