University of Cumbria, BA (Hons) (Foundation), Fine Art
This interdisciplinary course involves 4 studio projects and 1 theory project; from an early stage students have hands-on experience in all the major disciplines, responding to negotiated projects straight after the initial drawing module; they carry a set of related ideas through different media to experience and explore the particular characteristics of each method and to observe their effect on their ideas; the last 2 modules are designed to raise students’ awareness of the part an audience has to, or might, play in students’ work; in the final project students are asked to make a proposal, in exhibition form, for a site-specific work where the context (for example, geographical, environmental, sociological, historical, virtual, ideological) drives the development and outcome; the written and presentational, critical and contextual elements introduce students to a wide range of current art practice, referring them to precedents or influences from the 20th-Century and earlier; students develop an awareness of issues and methodologies in contemporary fine art and of their position and potential within it.
