The MA Painting course at Camberwell College of Arts offers the opportunity for resourceful and enquiring students to make a deep investigation of a discipline that is constantly widening its scope. The course is designed to support the development of your practical, research and professional skills in preparation for your continued progression into the professional or academic worlds.

​

We recognise painting’s enduring capacity for invention and reinvention and the fact that painterly practices might be interpreted through a range of media. But we also aim to pose searching questions about painting’s current concerns and where it goes next.

These questions will be addressed through your individual studio and written work and through collective and shared dialogues and debates. You will develop your key questions and ideas from an initial period of review and experimentation within a challenging and supportive learning and teaching environment. You will be encouraged to understand and articulate the context for your ideas and the ways in which your research is manifested in your artwork
