The Fine Art Department is a generative and dynamic environment in which students deepen their competences in the field in the context of fine art practice in Iceland and beyond. Fine Art studies at the department are at the BA and MA levels.
Various projects are offered in the field of artistic creation, handicrafts and disciplines that encourage students to think analytically and creatively. Students are encouraged to form an independent view of the world, guided by intuition, critical thinking and historical awareness.
During the study period, students can choose to specialize within the main media and methods of art; two-dimensional and three-dimensional, sculpture, painting, print, installation, photography, video, sound and performance. There are no media-related courses at the department, but the emphasis is placed on students themselves exploring diverse possibilities for artistic creation and acquiring skills in practical implementation as well as theoretical thinking.
Teaching takes place in courses, which rely on both group guidance and individual guidance, in lectures, seminars, discussions and critiques in smaller groups and technical teaching by experts in the department's workshops. Teachers at the art department are active in their profession and a number of guest teachers and lecturers from various countries make their way through the department every year.
Contemporary art is not only limited to the visual, but can rely on almost any medium. She freely dabbles in music, writing, acting, dance, filmmaking and design. As a result, the art world is a kind of laboratory where new methods and ideas are explored. All creative disciplines benefit from the results.
After graduation
Studying at the Faculty of Fine Arts makes students more qualified to work independently as visual artists in the international art world; participate in exhibitions, discussions and the development of the professional environment of art in Iceland, apply for international workshops and job grants.
The course can also be used for a variety of art-related jobs, for example in museums, teaching, education and communication. In today's society, there are ever-increasing demands for creative, analytical thinking and independent work practices. The foundation that studies at the art department of the University of the Arts lays is useful for progressive projects and innovation in all areas of business and cultural life in Iceland.
