MLitt Art Writing

School of Fine Art / 4 students

A one-year taught postgraduate programme exploring art writing as an interdisciplinary, studio-led practice. Students develop new work for public audiences or readerships while investigating the relationship between writing and artistic practice. The programme encompasses creative, philosophical, critical and theoretical approaches to writing about, with and as art, drawing on visual art, art criticism, art history and literature. Students consider art writing as an experimental field, examining its cultural and literary forms, histories, content and contexts. Work is presented and published in varied forms, including through The Yellow Paper, the programme and School of Fine Art’s journal for art writing.
