Overview

The Foundation Degree in Fine Art aims to enable individuals to build and define their practice in a constructively critical and pluralistic environment. Students will be encouraged to experiment, take risks and question accepted modes of art production, whilst informed and mindful of the legacy of traditional processes. Autonomy and self-confidence will be developed so that participants can undertake sustained, independent investigations and develop the necessary skills and critical faculties to operate as professional art practitioners in all areas of the creative industries.
