Overview

Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA)

As a student registered with any of the three major areas of study in the Department of Fine and Performing Arts at Nipissing University (AHVS, Studio, and Film), you will have access to unique research and exhibition opportunities. 

Small class sizes with a friendly collegiate spirit, award-winning instructors who share extensive and interdisciplinary connections in the field, ample studio space, and a breathtaking natural environment in which to work are significant strengths of our program.

Art History and Visual Studies:

The mission is to help art history and fine arts students and students from other disciplines develop critical and interdisciplinary frameworks to question how the fields of art and visual and material culture relate to disparate social contexts that shape our lives. 

Studio Art:

This program encourages independent inquiry and discovery among students and actively supports diversity, uniqueness of voice, and the pursuit of intellectual and aesthetic excellence. 

The goal is to prepare, encourage and inspire critically engaged and visually literate visual artists who will contribute to the field and beyond and act as culturally active and socially responsible citizens. 

Studies in new media, innovative visual strategies of performance, video art, and site-specific installations complement the existing strengths in sculpture, painting, drawing, and printmaking, in which students develop vital foundational skills.

Film Studies:

Through courses in film studies, You examine an art form that has evolved tools and techniques that have attained the artfulness and social impact of any other form of art. 

You will explore the critical linkage between aesthetics and content, teasing out the issues of realism, presentation vs representation, and the explicit and implicit matters of ideology, historicity, ethnicity, and gender. 

The goal is to help students acquire a range of tools to help them think about the impact of films on their own lives and the lives of others.
