About Fine Art at City & Guilds of London Art School
On our BA (Hons) Fine Art, you will have the opportunity to develop your work in the wider context of fine art through the specialist areas of painting, sculpture, printmaking and drawing. The emphasis is on supporting and challenging you to develop an approach to art practice based on your own creative interests and ideas, alongside an exploration of questions about what painting, sculpture, printmaking and drawing might be now, given their historical roots, materials, processes and current discourses.
At the Art School, we don’t believe in a ‘house style’; instead, we will support you to fully explore ways of making and thinking, and develop your own artistic ‘voice’. All our Fine Art Tutors are practising artists and because we have a generous tutor to student ratio, there’ll always be a tutor on hand to challenge and encourage you.
We are committed to the idea of ‘thinking through making’ with an emphasis on material understanding. We are also one of the few places in the UK where you can opt to learn about traditional hand skills – such as historic painting techniques, carving and bronze casting – alongside contemporary ideas, materials and processes.
On both the undergraduate and postgraduate fine art courses, you’ll have access to our range of specialist workshops and facilities , including our historic print room, wood workshop, glass workshop and foundry. All facilities are managed by expert technicians who will encourage and support you to develop the skills and confidence to explore processes creatively and independently.
BA (Hons) Fine Art culminates in a final show, which provides an important platform for your work. The Shows are very well received, often leading to commissions and future exhibitions, residencies and projects.
