Visual Arts Department
A forward-looking approach to the core disciplines of the fine arts, reinterpreted for contemporary artistic contexts.
Overview
About the Department
The Visual Arts programme reflects the conceptual and technological developments that have shaped contemporary art — especially the rapid evolution of image-making and display technologies — and encourages new forms of expression that move beyond the boundaries of conventional disciplines.
Students first study all of the department’s core disciplines through an interdisciplinary curriculum, then select one area of concentration: Painting & Mixed Media, Sculpture & Installation, Printmaking or Photography.
