Visual Arts

The M.A (Hons.) Visual Art is a programme that provides a unique opportunity to extend beyond the boundaries of art education methodologies available in Pakistan. The M.A (Hons.) programme proposes to emphasize the development of intellectual growth and critical discourse in the context of an already established art practice.

The programme provides a theoretical and visual infrastructure that will discuss local practice and discourse within the broader contexts of South Asia and the rest of the world. The programme addresses the issue of exchanges of information, and politico-historical realities that have created the hierarchies that currently exist in the world with reference to the visual arts.

The emphasis of the course is to develop individual ideas and intellectual capabilities particularly with reference to critical, evaluative and conceptual concerns for the production of works of high professional quality. The programme therefore caters to mature individuals with a high level of commitment to independent art practice. Students will be expected to pursue an individual line of research, and will be required through active participation to articulate their concerns both visually and theoretically.
