英語與純藝術 English Plus Fine Art @ 倫敦藝術大學

Course Aims

• To introduce you to how fine art is taught in the UK
• To build confidence when researching new ideas through three projects (drawing, painting and three dimensional)
• To enable you to present your work in both a visual and verbal format

Course Content

This course will be led by a member of teaching staff from the Fine Art Department of Central Saint Martins.  Its aim is to introduce overseas students to how fine art is taught in the UK, to build confidence when researching new ideas through three projects - one drawing, one painting and one 3D, and to enable them to present their work in both a visual and verbal format.  Projects will use London as the principle source of reference when creating work, and all work will be critiqued by the tutor and the group as a whole.  Time will be spent outside of class hours researching ideas for class-time projects. 

The course will cover:

• Use of drawing, paint and other materials in fine art work
• Research skills - how to use the resources of London, its museums and galleries, as sources of inspiration
• How to develop their own personal ideas and responses to projects set

The program will consist of:

• Lectures on current fine art practice
• A visit to a major exhibition or gallery (such as the National Gallery) to explore the relationship between the fine art in the UK, Europe and the rest of the world. 
• Various free hand drawing techniques will be introduced throughout the course.

At the end of the course students will:

• Be able to use new materials in an experimental and personal way
• Be able to show the research and creative process as they develop finished work
• Have a good understanding of fine art in the UK
