MA

MA Fine Art supports emerging artists who are eager to explore and confront their practice in the endeavour to redefine their position in relation to contemporary art. The MA student is engaged in focusing on the context for practice, where it is aligned with other specialisms and the importance of process and material. Ideas are generated through research, scholarly activity and conceptual enquiry and brought to realisation in an individual body of work that is tested in the public domain. Audience and space are two major factors considered in the process of making work. Students engage with one another in the practice and research of art. Discussion and presentation of ideas and the examination of outcomes form the basis for learning. Areas of expertise within the course team focus on the transformation of materials in the pursuit of meaning, drawing, renewal of painting, the objectness of sculpture, installation and space, performance, video, the document, photography and new media.
