Overview
The BA Fine Arts (Hons) at University of Wolverhampton aims to offer an open ended and practice–led approach to learning with students working from conceptual ideas through to the tools and materials of studio production. The course aims to fuse practical and material led practice with critical and contextual exploration.
This fusion will enable you to develop a sustainable model of practice as a professional artist and teach you a range of transferable skills relevant to careers in the creative industries. At all levels of the course you will work alongside practicing artists and researchers who aim to teach through their specialist fields.
The Fine Art course aims to:
- Encourage you to explore different media relevant to the development of your own work.
- Support you to acquire knowledge and practical experience of working in painting, sculpture, printmaking, conceptual and social practice, film video, photography, performance and installation.
- Provide you with the opportunity to observe, discuss and take part in a sustainable model of studio-based practice alongside artist/practitioners who are engaged in their own work.
- Enable you to develop an individually negotiated Fine Art practice informed by a relevant theoretical and contextual framework.
- Develop critical and analytical skills in historical and critical research and writing.
