Course summary

Develop your hands-on skills in traditional art techniques while embracing new technologies Our Fine Art with Digital Photography degree course allows you to develop your practice in drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture and textiles, while incorporating digital and lens-based art. Digital skills are essential for maximising future career opportunities, and on this course, you will embrace new technologies in your work as a fine artist. Students from all levels and practice areas work alongside each other in our open-plan studios and workshops, providing opportunities to share and discuss ideas, skills and approaches. In our specialist facilities, you will be able to explore various mediums including painting, print, textiles, 3D and IT, and benefit from your own dedicated studio space. Freedom to explore The fine art programmes are student-centred; you will be given freedom and encouragement to explore boundaries, techniques and ideas that are at the cutting edge of contemporary creative practice. You will be supported to find your own style and material practice, whether figurative or abstract, conceptual or more traditional in approach. Stimulated by new ideas and approaches, the sophistication and skills within your work will evolve and grow. The structure allows you to choose which skills to develop, which aspects of critical and cultural theory to focus on, and to self-determine the direction of your own practice; there’s no house style. Students learn to create their own negotiated pattern of work as they move towards the final year. Taught by artists Our fine art courses are exciting, challenging and deeply rewarding. You will be taught by research-active tutors and technicians, all themselves practicing artists, who will help you to grow your passion for art and develop your technical skills and ability. You’ll be able to exhibit your work regularly throughout the course and will participate in our final Degree Show, allowing you to showcase your work to a wide audience. Fine art at Chichester enables you to develop your creative, communication, digital and other transferable key skills alongside vocational skills via work placements that demonstrate how your passion for art can be applied in a variety of careers.
