MA Fine Art - Central Saint Martins

University of the Arts London

MA Fine Art at Central Saint Martin’s offers a dynamic environment in which to re-examine your practice as part of a student, alumni and staff community. The course supports a broad range of experimental and speculative practices brought together within the context of the studio. We are home to artists from across the globe, who work across installation, moving image, digital, time-based, performance, social engaged & site-specific practices, sculpture, painting, print and sound.We create an environment where complex social, cultural, and artistic viewpoints are negotiated. Artmaking in this context is a testing ground for ideas and media. We welcome artists who are open to change, not just in expanding their practices but in creating new positions which contribute and challenge contemporary art discourse and ecologies. Student-centred learning brings your work and the way you make and imagine practice to critical scrutiny. You will develop your individual research into confident, sustained practice. We emphasise the investigation of materials and processes of fabrication - the intelligence of the work is in the making and the approach to realisation.MA Fine Art has a track record of innovative teaching. Students and staff learn from one another through group projects, live events, and exhibitions as well as crits, tutorials and lectures. Academic and technical staff bring broad expertise in contemporary art as active practitioners undertaking research, production, publication and exhibition making, alongside their teaching roles. Approaches to teaching and learning are informed by these professional insights, in a collaborative learning environment where pedagogical experimentation is encouraged.An intensive programme of study will develop your skills and knowledge of research methods in art-related fields. Your learning will extend across our postgraduate Art programme, with opportunities to meet your peers and the College’s research community and to work with students from other disciplines and at different levels. Recent examples have investigated sound-based practices, archival work, virtual reality, photogrammetry, artists publication and animation.
