Fine Art (Hons) Atlantic Technological University

Overview

Studying  Fine Art (Hons)  course at the Atlantic Technological University  encourages students to develop individual ways of thinking and expressing themselves in visual and theoretical terms. It fosters an awareness and responsiveness to the world around and within. It recognises the value of individual approaches and provides an environment for learning and confidence building that shows in numerous personal and professional ways. One of the most important things to remember about Fine Art is that there is no map, no agreed way of doing things.

Students have dedicated studio space and access to specialised printmaking, ceramics, photography, digital media and woodwork workshops housed in our new purpose-built studio block. Our students have access to some of the best facilities in Ireland to provide students with all the skills and resources needed to make this an exciting journey.
