BA (Hons) Fine Art
Fine Art focuses on the artist as a socially responsive, publicly-aware practitioner, operating within physical, intellectual, and digital networks and referencing local, national, and global artistic platforms.
At Lincoln, the Fine Art programme offers the expertise and environment to nurture students’ creative development and expression. It aims to enable students to extend their creative work and ideas into new areas, including publicly engaged art.
Students on the course are introduced to a range of professional and transferable skills. Academic staff are often practising artists and writers with national and international reputations, such as Dr Isabella Streffen, who has exhibited at the Whitney Museum of American Art (New York) and worked with partners including the Library of Congress.
A range of artists and professionals are also invited to deliver guest lectures and tutorials as part of the School’s visiting artists’ programme. Recent speakers include Assemble (2015 Turner Prize Winners), Mark Titchner, Jordan Baseman, and Cath Keay.
The programme explores contemporary art that moves within and beyond the traditional gallery to embrace a range of non-traditional sites, with assessments designed to prepare students for professional life. The course emphasises individual creativity and artistic intelligence, and aims to introduce students to the fields of Live Art, installation and digital media, as well as catering for painting, sculpture, drawing, and printmaking.
At Lincoln, students have the opportunity to work both with and beyond a dynamic studio culture. The course aims to enable students to extend their creative work and ideas into new areas, including publicly engaged art. Students can choose to join study trips, which introduce significant artworks and the ideas behind them. Previous study trips have visited destinations in the UK and overseas. Costs relating to these trips are outlined in the Fees Tab.
