About this course

This course allows you to combine the complementary subjects of fine art and art history.

The fine art part of your degree offers a study of performance, film, video, computer-aided imagery, advanced printmaking and photography, as well as the more traditional media of painting and sculpture.

The history of art section covers an exciting range of subjects, including the history of painting, sculpture, design, architecture, film and photography. You will explore a stimulating range of images, texts and objects, developing skills of visual analysis and historical understanding.

 

What will you study?

We operate a system of individual learning agreements, where you identify and plan an individual programme of work in fine art in agreement with your tutor. Your progress will be supported by regular tutorials, together with workshops in media such as computing, printmaking and photography.

The lectures, seminars and study visits on the history of art will give a contextual background to your work. You will have the chance to study particular periods and places; specific technologies or media (such as photography and sculpture); and particular critical and theoretical issues (such as the problems of Modernism).
