Contemporary Fine Art Practice

About

This is an interdisciplinary 3 week fine art course which provides an innovative and experimental approach to the making and development of your work. On the course you will respond to open and concept based projects. You will be encouraged to develop your own unique approach to realising your ideas.

All designed to challenge you and encourage new ways of working. You will have the freedom to experiment with a range of disciplines. This includes drawing, painting, sculpture, installation, photography, video and performance.

Course aim

The course is studio and practice based and work on the projects is complemented by a programme of presentations and group discussions. We focus on discussion during the course and talking about your work in the context of contemporary art practices. The course will assist you in developing practical, critical and conceptual skills. It will encourage your own development as an artist. You will also receive an introduction to London's contemporary art scene. You will go on known gallery trips, to the harder to find London galleries. These visits will complement and contextualise the work that you are making.

The course is aimed at students with a strong commitment and an inquisitive approach to contemporary art practice.
