Lancaster's Fine Art and Design program offers students the chance to explore artistic creation while engaging with modern design concepts.
The Fine Art curriculum at Lancaster blends hands-on artistic work with in-depth art history and theory. Throughout your studies, from introductory to advanced levels, you'll cultivate both creative and technical abilities across mediums like painting, sculpture, digital art, and mixed media. We embrace diverse interpretations of 21st-century art without favoring any particular style, focusing instead on artistic process and conceptual development. Students experiment with various forms including traditional media, digital creation, performance art, and interdisciplinary combinations. Our goal is to help you refine a personal artistic practice that aligns with your vision and principles as an emerging artist.
Lancaster's design philosophy showcases a department committed to pioneering fresh design applications. Taught by prominent design researchers, the program extends beyond conventional areas like graphic or industrial design. You'll master thorough design research methods to develop both tangible and digital solutions for complex social challenges through design projects. The program also emphasizes building strong visualization capabilities to inform design choices and present work at professional quality levels.
