Rhodes University Fine Arts

Art School

The Fine Art Department aims to empower students by maximising their creative potential. We seek to enhance visual literacy by exposure to a rich and challenging range of learning experiences, which will equip our students with a flexible, tranferrable skill base. Our goal is not merely to produce specialist painters and sculptors, but rather to develop creative individuals with the technical skills and imagination to generate innovative responses to the visual world of the 21st Century.

 

The Department of Fine Art, which is part of the Faculty of Humanities, provides comprehensive tuition in the practical and theoretical or historical aspects of the visual arts. In addition to offering an invaluable education for professional practice, courses offered by the department provide a useful grounding for students planning careers in arts administration, community arts and curation.
