Gallery studies

While instruction is offered in each studio area, we encourage you to work across these disciplines as well, particularly in the fourth year Graduating Studies. Courses in these areas, as well as courses in historical, modern and contemporary Art History and Theory make up the core of the BFA.
From theory to gallery:
Experiment with a variety of mediums and focus on your studio work away from distraction. Find inspiration and motivation within your studios.
Advance your skills in paint mixing, application techniques and complex approaches with everything from watercolour to oil.
Explore printmaking with silkscreen, etching and develop your photographic media expertise within the dark room and processing studio.
Work within a range of materials, objects, techniques, and ideas fundamental to three dimensional aspects of visual art.
Gain a working knowledge of topics related to historical and contemporary practices.
Drawing from this to define and discuss works in a present-day context will become second nature.
