Program Details

Visual Arts (BFA) School: The University of British Columbia Faculty: Arts Degree: Bachelor Field of Study: Fine/Studio Arts, General Description: The BFA in Visual Art offers students a rigorous program of visual art practice within a stimulating and challenging academic environment, which includes the study of contemporary and historical art, cultural theory related to art production, and elective courses chosen from a broad range of subject areas. Created to develop technical and conceptual skills, our students are required to sample a wide range of mediums and artistic approaches made available through our course offerings, among which are painting, drawing, print media, sculpture, photography, digital and new media arts. Held in studio environments, our classes foster individual creative production and visual literacy in a lively atmosphere of instructor-lead debate, discussion and critique. As well, class sizes are relatively small, enabling considerable student/instructor contact; this contact increases as students progress through the program, with many of our upper level Visual Art classes being tutorial in nature.
