Fine Arts

Painting | Printmaking | Sculpture | Miniature

The building of a career in the Fine Arts is a lifelong and deeply fulfilling commitment. Many of the graduate of the Fine Art Department at NCA have found fame and recognition in Pakistan and abroad. A four year course leading to a Bachelor Degree of Fine Arts. The Department's studios are located in the oldest section of the College, facing the main quadrangle and extending into a new wing overlooking the Town Hall.

There are four major areas of specialization: Painting, Printmaking, Sculpture and Miniature. Following the foundation Course in the first year, students take introductory courses in all four areas of Fine art teaching in the second year. One is selected as a major area of specialization, before the commencement of first term exam. In the fourth year the work culminates in a thesis project in the final term.

All teaching is project-oriented with particular emphasis on the development of drawing. There is tradition of respecting individuality, of encouraging experimentation and of critical self-analysis. This is made possible through group critiques and individual tutorials. All projects are critiqued and graded through the jury process, whereby a panel of teachers from the Fine Art Department, and occasionally from other Departments as well, act as jurors. Participation by the students is expected and encouraged.

One of the aims of the Department is to familiarize students with all the stages and preparation that preface the creating of a work of art. Apart from the techniques students are required to master, it is also useful and necessary for them to learn the basics of the materials required in their respective disciplines.

The Fine Art Department teaches drawing and sculpture to all in the First Year Foundation Course as well as to students in other years
in the Department of Architecture and in the Faculty of Design.
