Fine Art: Painting MA

Through material investigation and critical research, you’ll investigate painting’s enduring currency, capacity for invention and ability to engage with both urgent contemporary debates and past world traditions. Explore both traditional processes and expanded forms of painting practice through independent material testing, workshops and demonstrations by specialist technicians.     

We encourage you to challenge your own creative vision through critical analysis, reflection and contextualisation. This will help you to situate your practice within your field of painting and in relation to wider social, political and cultural discourses and debates. You’ll develop a critical narrative for your practice, consider creative forms of communication of your ideas and carry out research beyond the discipline.     

By the end of the course, you will have developed a portfolio of work that will demonstrate your individual research interests, visual range and storytelling skills to potential employers.
