University of ChesterThe diverse and exciting nature of contemporary Fine Art is represented in the design and delivery of the course; whilst the emphasis is on practice, this is underpinned by a strong theoretical and contextual element. You will gain practical and workshop skills that are then applied to studio projects at Levels 4 and 5 and your own autonomous practice at Level 6. Whilst approximately 75% of your time at Level 6 will be occupied with studio modules, you will have the option of theory modules to suit all learning styles, from a short essay and presentation to an extended essay or 8,000-10,000-word dissertation.
Workshops are well-resourced and include specialist foundry, fabrication and construction workshops, printmaking studios, textiles studios, drawing and painting studios as well as facilities for video, photographic, and computer-based activity. Level 5 and 6 students work in their own studio spaces with adequate storage for work. Opportunities for placements and elements of professional practice provide the course with a ‘real-life’ edge, affording you to consider the nature of the Fine Artist you could become.
There is regular tutorial and teaching contact with academic staff, many of whom are practitioners and researchers of national and international standing.
Recent field trips have included New York, London, Berlin, Florence, and Paris.
"As a Fine Art student, I was given an opportunity to pursue my dream career by going to art galleries, attending meetings with artists, and running my own art projects with my classmates." – Natalia Marchuk, Fine Art student
