Gary Colclough and Kate Terry

This is an interdisciplinary fine art course that will provide an innovative and experimental approach to the making and development of your work. On the course you will work on a number of projects that are all open and concept based and you will be encouraged to develop your own unique approach to realising your ideas. You will have the freedom to experiment with a range of media, such as; painting, drawing, installation, sculpture, photography and video.

The course is studio and practice based, and work on the projects is complimented by a progamme of presentations, discussions, critiques and talks from visiting arts professionals, including artists and gallery directors. Integral to the course is a strong commitment and an inquisitive approach to contemporary practice. The course will assist you in developing those practical, critical and conceptual skills necessary to encourage your own development as an artist. You will also receive an introduction to London's contemporary art scene via gallery trips and talks at major galleries and museums, while smaller commercial and artist-run venues will complement and contextualise the work that you are making.
