BA (Hons) Fine Art 2012 Degree Show

Exhibition of work by BA Fine Art students in a variety of disciplines

School of Art and School of Media and Music Technology Summer Exhibition

The 2012 BA Fine Art show is by far the largest art show curated at The Cass. This exhibition features work from 107 art students, all aspiring artists due to graduate this summer. Most have spent 3-4 years studying Fine Art at The Cass School of Art, many joining in our foundation year. Some are part-time mature students who have spent 5-7 years studying here, while in employment elsewhere. Others are direct entry students, finishing off their education with a final year in university at The Cass.

You will see contemporary art from a mix of busy, critical, articulate and prolific art students in modern and postmodern traditions. All have had excellent access to photography, digital media, print, painting and 3D workshops in their time here. Each student’s work at the show is the culmination of a major art project, defined, researched and pursued over the last 9 months. Some have specialized in an art medium such as sculpture, painting or photography. Others have learned in all art media.

BA Fine Art courses at The Cass are taught via yearlong studio practice and critical or contextual studies modules, with a major emphasis on time spent in the art studios. Art students learn in a mixture of individual and group tuition, seminars and lectures – above all, from each other. Art students on our courses are expected to learn skills and acquire knowledge in art media over the first two years. In the final year they pursue independent art study. The results are on display at this show.
