More about this courseDuring your foundation year you鈥檒l have the opportunity to explore a number of different artistic directions and gain a broad spectrum of creative skills before going on to specialise more specifically in photography at the end of your first year of study.You'll begin your foundation year by undertaking a range of short and intensive studio workshops that will allow you to develop key photography skills and techniques, which will stand you in good stead for the rest of your degree. You鈥檒l also develop a strong work ethic, which is essential when studying an art-related degree.You will follow these intensive workshops with longer projects that will allow you to delve deeper into your own creative style and approach, strengthening your independence as an artist and photographer.You will also look at creative practice from a contemporary, conceptual, cultural and historical context through lectures and seminars.Feedback is essential to your development as a creative practitioner, so throughout the course there will be plenty of opportunities for your peers and tutors to critique your work. This will not only allow you to improve your artistic practice, but will also help you prepare for the exhibition at the end of the year, when your work will be on show to the general public.After completing your foundation year, you will study the same modules and content as students enrolled on our Photography BA (Hons).However, if you decide during your foundation year that you鈥檇 prefer to specialise in another art-related subject, there will be flexibility to do this.
