The BA Fine Art provides students with an educational context for studying Fine Art practice and theory at an undergraduate level and prepares students for a career as an artist or a variety of roles in the broad world of art. During the programme students learn appropriate skills to realise their ideas through fine art media and throughout the four years of the programme they will develop an articulate, critical and informed understanding of Fine Art, its contexts and critical discourse. Graduates will be able to originate, develop and articulate concepts towards a Fine Art practice. In addition they will be able to demonstrate and articulate a practical and theoretical understanding of Fine Art, through studio practice, essays, learning portfolios and a thesis and manage a self-directed study programme by implementing independent learning strategies.
Contents
Studio Practice covers the following areas: Painting Media, Sculpture Media, Print Media and Interdisciplinary Studies. Other modules available within the Fine Art programme include New Media, Drawing Media, Critical Theory (Art Theory, History of Art, Aesthetics, Psychology and Research Methodologies), and Professional Practice and Arts in Context(Community Arts).
Year One
In Stage 1 the fundamentals of study within the Fine Art domain are addressed. As the students challenge their own efforts with increased awareness, they establish the beginnings of the interactive process of practice and critical theory. They also develop coherent methodologies of investigation into Fine Art which encourage a dialogue between what art is, how art can be made and why art is made.
Year Two
Students move towards increased critical awareness, theoretical knowledge and practical skills. They develop technical expertise through the Module Elements through a variety of methods including: videos relevant to theme/materials/elements, group discussion, group critiques, project work, workshops, studio practice, lectures, self-directed learning, learner reviews, and learning portfolios in fine art media. They are also introduced to presentation and communication skills in the context of working towards a professional practice.
Year Three
Students define their Studio Practice programme of self-directed study and make an appropriate selection from the range of modules available in the Fine Art programme and from a range available in the Institute. They are encouraged to develop technical expertise and critical thinking in areas relevant to practice with an emphasis on research and experimentation.
Year Four
In their final year students consolidate their modular programme of self directed study of which Fine Art studio practice forms the core, while continuing to engage in interdisciplinary activities and practice. Finally students are expected to articulate a critically informed understanding of Fine Art history and contemporary theory and realise and present a coherent body of work to a professional standard at the end of the year. Students present an exhibition of work based on studio practice, and a written thesis for assessment.
