This module features a range of practical workshops introducing skills and techniques specific to drawing, painting and lens based media. You will be introduced to traditional and new techniques across the many facilities and workshop areas in fine art.

The module will introduce you to the burgeoning and lucrative field of Public Art, (an area often neglected in Art & Design), and will offer opportunities to work on live briefs, or work with organisations on community projects, or in areas such as Artist-in-Schools. It aims to examine art that is made for specific places and spaces, usually associated within an urban context. It also aims to enhance graduate employability through experience gained working to commission, working within a community organisation, or working alongside other professionals in the development of a public artwork. Learning how to put together a business plan and working with others as part of a team is also a required activity on the module.
