The Fine Arts Undergraduates students are exposed to an array of studio practices, ideas, communities and global relationships. Our students learn all the traditional techniques but they also learn to work more innovatively and are encouraged to push the boundaries of what contemporary art is. We have students working across many media, experimenting with public engagement, video, animation, photography and digital imaging. Some students appropriate images from popular culture to make politically charged statements; others re-purpose found materials and ideas from everyday life. The community is invited to visit the BFA Fine Arts studios and speak to students about their on-going work, vision and ideas.
