This course integrates practice and theory in a comprehensive programme that emphasises critical inquiry in art practice and research. The course will help you develop your practice and research in a series of lectures, seminars, workshops, group tutorials and off-site visits. The syllabus offers a solid background in essential histories and discourses of contemporary art to help artists address questions about their practice and its context: about what art is, how it is judged and how it relates to society.

Peter Bruegel
Bruegel, Flemish painter from sixteenth century, painted about 60 pictures of mostly peasant life. Big colourful and lively pictures, but what are not so well known are his drawings and engravings.
I have taken some of them and painted in the colour scheme that I imagine Bruegel might have chosen, in order to make them more accessable.
His interests in his society were as wide ranging as Shakespeare's.
