Bachelor of Fine Arts

The study of Fine Arts helps students develop their artistic and creative abilities, and their ability to think critically, write, and speak about works of art. Fine Arts at Mount Allison offers a unique approach for students looking to obtain professional training – combining studio work and instruction with the freedom of an immersive liberal and science curriculum. The program gives you the opportunity to develop your creative and critical ability through studio courses in: drawing, painting, photography (analog and digital), printmaking (lithography, silkscreen, intaglio, relief, and letterpress), sculpture and installation, and open media. In addition to their studio classes, students will take courses and seminars that foster an understanding of art history and visual culture. The first year studio courses give students a broad knowledge and skill base. Second and third years courses build on this foundation and focus on selected studio areas. In final year, students create a body of work through independent study.
