This week, students from Camberwell College of Arts and London College of Communication are running a pop-up creative studio in Oval offering free creative work to clients making a difference […]
This course begins with photography but expands into the processes that emerge from a global culture of widespread image-making. You will explore the future of the image, its historical and material foundations, its potential as a social and political tool and its status and meaning within fine art and the everyday.
BA Fine Art Photography students will have the opportunity to exhibit their work internally at the college and at external venues in London, with previous spaces having included Dilston Grove, CGP London, Shoreditch Town Hall and Southwark's The Biscuit Factory.
Students are supported in pursuing work experience with major organisations, including Self Publish, Be Happy, and Art on the Underground.
Students can also study abroad in the second year of their degree as part of the college's Erasmus scheme.
BA Fine Art Photography is offered in full-time mode. It is divided into 3 stages over 3 academic years. Each stage consists of 30 teaching weeks. You will be expected to commit an average of 40 hours per week to your course, including teaching hours and independent study.
A short description of each unit and what you can expect.
This unit is an introduction to your course, the college and the university.
You will be asked to identify which specific skills and strategies help you in making and understanding your work. You will be thinking about questions such as how your work is made, how it begins to communicate and how you might introduce or discuss it.
This unit has 2 parts. The first uses the college degree show as an opportunity for reflective critical and contextual writing. The second part asks students to imagine an external project outside the college’s studio environment.
This unit is about re-establishing your studio practice whilst also progressing your research methodologies. It is about exploring the relationship between fine art and photography in more depth.
This unit aims to introduce you to different ways in which collaborative working can focus and enhance your own creative strengths. This unit has 3 core purposes:
Between year 2 and 3 you can opt to undertake the Diploma in Professional Studies or the Diploma in Creative Computing.
