The term "fine art" refers to an art form practised mainly for its aesthetic value and its beauty ("art for art's sake") rather than its functional value. Fine art is rooted in drawing and design-based works such as painting, printmaking, and sculpture. It is often contrasted with "applied art" and "crafts" which are both traditionally seen as utilitarian activities. Other non-design-based activities regarded as fine arts, include photography and architecture, although the latter is best understood as an applied art.
Fine art painting offers the most direct and responsive means of expressing and developing visual ideas. Building on the history and tradition of painting, the course seeks to question and redefine its role in a changing society.
On this course you will study all aspects of painting and also benefit from being part of our community of fine artists. |
