Fine Art

Craig Barber,
Course Leader

Our students have made the most of our broad-based BA (Hons) Fine Art course, exploring different approaches to making and contextualising their work. Some have chosen to specialise in areas such as sculpture, printmaking, sound, painting, moving image or installation. Others have adopted a more flexible approach.

Creating impact

Their works are characterised by a sense of playfulness, which emerge from the contexts that have unfolded over the past few years. Although some of the works may appear very personal, the students understand their role within broader society and have developed skills in collaborating with peers in Norwich, Korea and Japan.

Visiting lecturers

Our projects and visiting lectures have allowed us to maintain links with organisations such as Outpost and the Wysing Arts Centre, Norwich Castle and the Sainsbury Centre, and to invite speakers with a wide range of approaches such as artists Michael Armitage and Ayo Akingbade, and many more.
