Bachelor of Fine Art in Fine Art (Visual Art) [General]

Queen's University

Queen’s Bachelor of Fine Art (Visual Art) Program is a small visual art program admitting 30 students per year. The intensive studio training, taught by instructors that are active in their field, alongside visiting artists from across the country and internationally, is complemented by lecture and seminar courses in Art History. The small class sizes and high professor-to-student ratios create an interactive learning environment focusing on three main areas of fine art: painting, printmaking and sculpture/new media. The Fine Art (Visual Art) Program is well equipped with studios and workshops that create an atmosphere where learning and research can flourish. Optional field trips are made to exhibitions and workshops, including annual trips to New York.With its tradition of scholarship and research, and an environment that both stimulates and challenges, Queen’s provides the ideal setting for the study and creation of Visual Art. Our program combines the technical, theoretical, and critical studies required in the practice of visual art in four interrelated areas: painting, drawing, printmaking, and sculpture/new media. These media are seen as broad, overlapping areas of experience, each containing many approaches and procedures. Studio training is complemented by studies in Art History and elective courses.
