Course General Description

Be an interdisciplinary artist who progresses with the global evolution of fine arts. The study of Fine Arts is a process of continual debate and questioning, of exploring and interrogating set perspectives. Contemporary fine art practice constantly negotiates with its surroundings and histories, in a role that is subversive and ever-changing. This programme situates itself at the crossroads of contemporary Western and Asian cultures, acknowledging the demands of different worldviews. It unites specialised areas, from traditional disciplines to newer art forms, providing wider options of expression relevant to the global evolution of Fine Arts.
