Университет Линкольна, BA (Hons), Изобразительное искусство

Level 1: Painting, sculpture, printmaking, drawing, photography, video, and digital media are all available from the first year of study; the first year encourages experimentation with media and the identification of key subject areas; students will work in all of these areas or choose to focus on two or three media; students will also be introduced to aspects of professional practice that will be important on graduation such as how to write about, and photograph their own work. Level 2: The second year addresses issues of representation and subject, examining the language of Fine Art practice; ideas and content, and how to sustain and develop visual interests; a number of assignments and the opportunities to work as part of a group, profile considerations such as the relationship between art work, audience and site; it is at this stage that students will specialize in their studio work and chosen media area. Level 3: Throughout the final year, students will structure their studio practice according to their chosen interests; students should assume a responsibility for all their creative output; the course will support and encourage these aspirations; studio and professional practice modules come together to provide a holistic support for individual development and for critical, reflective practice.

Fine art is a practice through which to investigate, explore and share any number of personal subjects, obsessions and concerns; method and media can mean traditional materials and approaches, or the use of language, object, sound and image from other sources; emphasis is placed on the development of the individual, and each stage of the teaching experience is designed to enable a greater independence of thought and approach, leading to innovative and highly-focused art work; art theory is an integral part of the programme, and will help students reflect critically upon their own work and to understand a range of issues in theorising contemporary art.
