Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Painting, Drawing, and Printmaking

This program is designed to immerse students in a wide range of traditional and contemporary techniques, they will simultaneously develop a distinct creative voice as a contemporary professional artist.

Plymouth College of Art's tutors are all practicing artists who bring unique, independent experience to the classroom and studio teaching. The course specializes in the embodied practice of painting, with the synergy of drawing and fine print together with color as a conceptual and pedagogical practice.

Based in large, open-plan studios designed with lofted ceilings and windows that allow for northern exposure to natural light, students will be encouraged to develop an ambitious working practice through encounters with all three disciplines.

During the three years of concentrated study, a comprehensive series of technical workshops and material demonstrations provide a core component to the curriculum, fostering a hands-on, deep material knowledge that will directly inform the ideas, methods and idiosyncrasies of students’ emergent studio practice.

This program teach the six visual languages: tone, line, space, movement, shape and color, enabling each student to be able to express their imagination and find their voice, to become the painters, artists, and printmakers of the next generation
