MA Fine Art at Arts University Plymouth deepens your studio practice by helping you to situate it within critical and contemporary contexts, providing you with the opportunity to develop your ideas and work in a practice-led, interdisciplinary environment, whether you work with painting, printmaking, drawing, photography, moving image, performance, social practice or installation. Whether working in a singular Fine Art discipline, such as painting, drawing, sculpture, video, sound, printmaking, installation or performance, or across multiple areas of creative practice, you are encouraged to explore ideas through a process of making and experimentation that extends into new understanding or innovative creative directions. You will be introduced, through ongoing visiting lecturers, seminars, research intensives, critiques and site visits, to the ways in which contemporary art inhabits a range of contexts, from traditional gallery exhibitions to public art projects and socially-engaged collaborations. You will participate in current, international cultural debates through research into the relevant topics that will allow you to build a body of knowledge and practice to define what it means to be an artist in the 21st century.
