Course General Description

Fine Art Sculpture at Brighton is a dynamic course that addresses contemporary fine art through exploring material, space and form in its widest sense. At Brighton we take the view that sculpture is a way of thinking as much as a way of making. You will join a community of fine artists in an exciting art school environment, learning in specialist workshops with the freedom to create art in your own studio workspace. Links with local, national and international arts communities provide opportunities for projects with artists, galleries, festivals and residencies. We have links with the University of Nagoya, Japan which runs exchange programmes available by competitive application.
