Bachelor of Fine Arts - Ceramics (Optional Co-op)

Students will complete a 120 credit, four-year degree of which a minimum 90 credit hours are in Visual and Aboriginal Art Studies. Each of Brandon University's Bachelor of Fine Arts programs aims to accomplish the following: • Ensures all students are equally cognizant and conversant with the arts of European based society and of North American aboriginal societies. • Addresses career preparation, marketing, and small business management as required areas of academic study in order to continue as professional practicing artists. • Provides a knowledge of contemporary art that is respectful of its roots from previous art historical movements. • Develops students’ competencies in the technical applications used in art production by being discipline focused in the areas of painting, ceramics and printmaking. • Provides a window into emerging hybrid art forms developed through traditional fine arts media and digital technology. BU and ACC will work together to enable the transfer of visual art skills in traditional media to computer based design applications. The program highlights opportunities to explore digital technology for research, visual cross-referencing, art practice and online exhibitions. • Includes provisions for prior learning assessment and recognition (PLAR).
