The Fine Art degree at Teesside University provides studio-based learning that allows students to specialise in painting, printmaking, sculpture, photography and/or new media. Students will have open access to all media workshops to develop their personally defined project themes. Lectures, seminars and studio-based critique raise ideas and themes to explore the shifting status of beauty in visual culture and contemporary practice. Students will work with visiting artists, curators and writers who share their expertise during lectures and give direct tutorial support to their individual research projects. The degree is underpinned by a visiting artist talk series, MIMA Mondays, where all academics and students gather to plan and co-develop projects and MIMA’s Community Day (Thursdays) where they are supported to connect with a broader public. Students are invited to undertake an international learning experience alongside a series of national opportunities as well as exhibit.
