Our Fine Art: Studio, Site and Context course at Swansea College of Art UWTSD offers a broad approach to fine art teaching, where individual artistic practice draws on a variety of materials, media, concepts, and philosophies. Our course places a strong emphasis on studio practice, site specificity and contextualisation of practice. You will work with a variety of mediums including painting, drawing, sculptural practice, video, sound, installation, and fine art performance, helping to develop your own individual practice. We encourage all students to consider their position within society, giving you the opportunity to learn from internationally acclaimed artists and lecturers, giving you the opportunity to understand the changing field of contemporary fine art practice. Our programme offers you your own studio space, the use of our extensive range of facilities including metal, wood, resin, and sculpture/ceramic workshops, digital studios/darkrooms, life drawing and printmaking facilities.
