Develop your painting in greater depth on this advanced course, working with a team of artist-tutors and a committed network of peer-practitioners, across a set of projects focusing on a range of contemporary themes, processes and debates. The course is intended for experienced painters with a positive and enquiring attitude to the practices and discourses of painting in its various forms, and a commitment to peer-dialogue and critical discussion. Focused and intensive studio-based weekend projects (once per month), are interspersed with weekly online tutorials, feedback, discussion and seminars. The course also features an elective element within which students can pursue an additional 12 hours on another Visual Arts course of their choice within the department.* This enables each student to develop an area of personal specialism in support of their painting practice (for example, in drawing, photography, print, digital media, etc.)

* Elective workshops and any external sessions will run on days other than those timetabled for Advanced painting, and will be subject to availability.
