The Department of Fine Art offers a comprehensive undergraduate programme in studio art, supported by theory and history of art. The curriculum comprises of a dynamic combination of studio courses, lectures, and seminars, offered to students of SVA as well as other schools at BNU. In keeping with the multifarious nature of emerging forms in contemporary fine art practices, the degree programme offers a variety of courses and areas of concentration. During the four years of study, the programme covers traditional techniques and materials, emerging tools and technologies, and concepts integral to art making and art awareness. A unique feature of the Fine Art programme is the opportunity it provides its students to design a programme of study that best suits their needs and ambitions. The programme concentrates on creative inquiry, risk-taking and the exploration of an individual approach. At the end of the Foundation Studies programme, students work in an interdisciplinary group in the Fine Art Major Studio, a mandatory course for all fine art students, Semester Four through Eight. This course consists of various independent projects, designed to give students an opportunity to find an area of study that is of interest to them. Students continue to develop individual practices until the completion of their degree, parallel to taking the required studio and theory electives. For the first time in Pakistan, the School of Visual Arts recognizes New Media Arts as a major means of artistic expression. In addition to Miniature Painting, Painting, Printmaking and Sculpture, the Fine Art Department offers specializations in Drawing, Photography, and Art History.
