Studio studies focus on a diversity of approaches which reflect the breadth of contemporary practice in painting. You follow your individual direction and are given supportive professional guidance by practising artists. The programme offers a broad training in methods and materials in the context of experimentation and exploration. You follow artistic directions using traditional painting practice and new technology. Digital imaging, lens-based media, image transfer, assemblage, oil paint, acrylics, encaustic, watercolour and tempera are among the possibilities.
Drawing is an important element of the programme and opportunities for life drawing are provided.
Interdisciplinary practice involving mixed media and the integration of old and new technologies is also an aspect of the provision. All studio practice is supported by a related study in art history, which underpins individual work. Contextual studies are accompanied by study visits, which have recently included New York, Barcelona, Cologne, Paris and London. There is a programme of visiting speakers and also an opportunity to develop studio work at the Cyprus College of Art. Teaching and Learning Fine Art students are guided through a series of levels, beginning with introductory workshops, moving towards individual practice and culminating in a final exhibition.
