Fine Art

The Northern School of Art is located in a landscape of natural and industrial beauty. Which is at the heart of the North Easts thriving art scene. This exciting degree in fine art encourages high levels of technical skills, conceptual rigour and contextual understanding.

Students will work in a well-equipped studio with excellent resources in addition to workshops allowing them to explore their studies properly. This BA (Hons) Fine Art course has an embedded professional studies element to help you prepare for your career after graduation.

Students will be offered a technical training that will allow you to become an arts and media specialist. Challenging and extending the traditions of such disciplines as fine art painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, video and sculpture. The wide range of superbly equipped workshops available to you will also facilitate the kind of experimental combining of materials and processes needed to explore and create hybrid art forms. You will be encouraged to explore art history and the context of your practice, in order to establish a strong personal visual language.

In year one, you will be introduced to a range of fine art concepts, processes and subject matters. In year two, you will make an informed decision about the subject matter, media or combinations of media that you wish to explore in your personal practice and have the opportunity to exhibit your work. In your final year, you will be supported in developing and refining your craft in order to realise your creative aspirations as an independent practitioner.
