MA Fine Art: Drawing at Camberwell College of Arts challenges the limits of contemporary drawing practice.

Course overview

Looking beyond the constraints of traditional mediums such as pen and paper, you’ll reconsider the practice of drawing and its capacity to change and evolve. You’ll experiment with different methods including 3D practices, virtual methodologies and film. You’ll also consider the materiality of art and drawing practice.

During seminars and lectures, you’ll examine the urgent social, cultural, environment and political frameworks that underpin fine art drawing. This knowledge will help you to critically reflect and expand upon your own research and drawing practice.

What to expect:

Workshops: Practical workshops with technicians and visiting artists focus on a range of drawing processes and materials. You can also access other College resources such as printmaking, photography, digital, wood, ceramics and metal workshops. View the Camberwell facilities.

A sense of community: You’ll take part in cross-course seminars, group crits, tutorials and external projects with students from Camberwell’s other fine art pathways.

Collaboration: You’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with local, national and international networks.

Showcase your work: You’ll regularly show and discuss your work and research at exhibitions and other public-facing events.

Social, cultural and ethical contexts: You’ll explore debates surrounding drawing, the arts and culture including narratives of inclusion and social justice.

Industry experience and opportunities

The course will develop your skills in creative leadership, problem-solving, collaboration, resourcefulness and communication. You’ll also learn how to sustain open-ended lines of enquiry, an essential skill in any professional setting.

You’ll have plenty of opportunities to showcase your practice including organising and participating in public events and exhibitions. A programme of talks and workshops will help you identify which part of the art world you would like to contribute to after graduation.
