Overview
The study of Fine Arts helps you develop your artistic and creative abilities, and your 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
- open media
In addition to your studio classes, you will take courses and seminars that foster an understanding of art history and visual culture.
The first-year studio courses give you a broad knowledge and skill base. The second and third years courses build on this foundation and focus on selected studio areas. In your final year, you create a body of work through independent study.
