Course summary
The BA (Hons) Fine Art at Lincoln is designed to provide the expertise and environment to nurture students’ creative development and expression. They can learn from practising artists and arts professionals, and be introduced to a range of professional and transferable skills. Fine Art focuses on the artist as a socially responsive, publicly-aware practitioner operating within physical, intellectual and digital networks and referencing local, national and global artistic platforms. The programme explores contemporary art that moves within and beyond the traditional gallery to embrace a range of non-traditional sites, with assessments designed to prepare students for professional life. The course emphasises individual creativity and artistic intelligence, and aims to introduce students to the fields of Live Art, installation and digital media, as well as catering for painting, sculpture, drawing and printmaking.
Modules
In the first year, students are encouraged to experiment with different media, digital practices and Live Art, and begin to identify key areas of personal interest. The programme’s emphasis on public engagement is introduced, with early opportunities to show work beyond the studio. The second year aims to guide students in the development of their individual practices, including significant opportunities to exhibit their work outside the University. In the third year, professional practice modules offer students the opportunity to refine their individual development and reflective practice, culminating in the Final Year Degree Show.
