Foundation Degree in Fine Art

UCAS code: W101

Awarding Body: University of Plymouth

Mode Of Study

Full time over two years.
Part time over four years.

The Programme

The course develops skills and ideas within fine art. Study includes practical and theoretical work embracing individual and group activities. A body of work prepared at each stage forms the core of assessed material, this is supplemented by written documentation, peer co-operation and presentations made by the students.

The Programme Content

We begin with an introduction that explores what fine art is in the 21st century, starting with traditional modes of expression like painting, then progressing to ideas about installation and time based media. Briefs given or devised by you, encourage you to look at many ways of working, together with developing themes that you wish to explore through fine art. Underpinning this practical work we look at 20th and 21st century fine art examples and explore a breadth of professional guidelines designed to help you function as an artist in the wider world, including working in the public domain.

Entry Requirements

Candidates should have 80 UCAS points, preferably in an art related subject. Applications are welcome from students with non traditional or non academic backgrounds, however you may be asked to submit further evidence to support your application. The most important requirement is a portfolio of work which you will present at interview. This could be wide ranging in content and should demonstrate your potential as a fine art student.

Costs

To enable the studios to function efficiently there is an annual materials fee of £120. Students can also buy certain materials at a subsidised rate.*

Venue

Barnstaple Campus

Progression

Upon successful completion students will be able to progress to the third year of a fine art degree at Plymouth University or Somerset College. There will be an opportunity upon graduation to apply for an incubation unit (starter space) at our school of art, enabling you to have a supported workshop space in which to develop your practice within a professional environment.

Actavis is a very professional organisation and I found it the most interesting experience of my course. I took away a lot of knowledge and experience and it gave me the encouragement to seek a professional career like this in the future.
