Course summary

BA Fine Art Sculpture at Camberwell College of Arts invites you to explore the interplay between materials, social practices and cultural contexts. The course teaches you to value the importance of ‘thinking through making’, using practical experimentation and different critical approaches. The intention is that you will develop an understanding of the inter-relationship between humans and objects and reflect upon people’s interactions with the material world through a postcolonial lens. What to expect • To develop and explore your practice as part of an inclusive, ethical and sustainable studio culture with collaboration at its heart • To interrogate sculpture’s status in the contemporary fine art world and its continually evolving position due to social and political factors • To investigate traditional and digital material practices associated with sculpture supported by technical tuition • An open plan studio and adjoining workshops • All forms of contemporary sculptural methods and approaches to be encouraged.
