Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Visual Studies 視覺研究(榮譽)文學士
BA (Hons) Visual Studies
Short Description
The revamped curriculum of Visual Studies adopts a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to the historical and theoretical study of visual arts, focusing on two concentrations—art history and film art—and complementing with courses on interdisciplinary subjects, art practice and curating. The programme structure consists of survey and advanced courses which address specific topics, periods, cultures, media and issues to create a progressive learning model. Experiential learning is an integral part of the curriculum and central to practice-based courses, including studio practice, curating, internship and service-learning. A well-established Artist-in-Residence programme also provides ample opportunities for active engagement with local and overseas artists and film directors in the art world. Capstone experience is introduced to encourage integrated learning, enabling students to develop a research, art or curatorial project under supervision in the final year of their study.
