What is creative art practice?
Art is a subject that forms relationships with many different areas of knowledge such as making technologies and media (for example painting, sculpture, photography, video and performance), research practices and the showcasing of work (for example exhibiting).

Critically engaged with the world, fine art asks questions without a need to provide answers.

This course

Engage with all aspects of making and contemporary debate on this rich and demanding course. You explore traditional methods of making visual arts and are supported and encouraged to engage with new ideas and theories.

This course is ideal for you if you have an independent mind, a deep interest in skills-based art-making, and you’re working to develop a strong identity in your own art practice.

Exploring traditional and contemporary art making processes, you’ll gain skills in 2D and 3D art forms ranging from painting and illustration to casting.

One of the key aspects of the course is the creative freedom you have to work in a range of practice areas. You can take advantage of a range of modern and well-equipped facilities including those for • woodworking • metalworking • printmaking • photography • the latest digital technologies.

You develop your understanding of the relationship between the process of making and the context of showing by exhibiting your work.

The course has a simple structure with three modules a year. These are developed at each level, offering increasing levels of challenge as the course progresses.

The studio module asks that you spend the majority of your time devoted to making and developing work in our dedicated studios, in specific locations or in the workshops.

The art context module focuses on art context and theory, culminating in a short dissertation, seminar or placement report in the third year.

The professional art practice module supports and develops your professional skills to help you operate within the cultural industries.

You learn from a teaching team who are artists that exhibit nationally and internationally. They support you as you develop the confidence and skills to express yourself and to communicate your ideas.

We run a guest speaker programme and give you opportunities to exhibit your work. You also have the chance gain professional experience in the wider cultural arts sector through internships, professional practice and mentoring schemes in galleries, such as S1 Artspace, Site Gallery. We also have strong links regional and international arts organisations, such as the Venice Biennale and Tate.

About the MArt
This course runs parallel to the BA (Honours) Creative Art Practice. The main difference begins in year three. The pace of work increases as you complete your undergraduate studies and begin your postgraduate studies.

You further develop the professional skills required for your future career, and in year four complete a three month work placement experiencing professional practice at a high level. After returning, self-directed study forms the main part of your learning in the run up to a final public exhibition.

Key areas of study
Study focuses around the three areas of • studio • art context • professional art practice.
