Fine Art The term "fine art" was coined in 1767 in reference to the arts that were "concerned with beauty or which appealed to taste" (S.O.E.D 1991). The term has been used to refer to a limited number of visual art forms, including painting, sculpture, and printmaking, and is still used by schools, institutes, and other organizations to indicate a traditional perspective on the visual arts, often implying an association with classic or academic art.
Bachelor Of Fine Arts The Bachelor of Fine Arts, or BFA, or B.F.A. is the standard undergraduate degree for students seeking a professional education in the visual or performing arts.
The degree differs from a BA (Bachelor of Arts) degree in that a significant portion of the program consist of a studio or conservatory component. At least 65% of the coursework is in the major field of study, and no less than 25% in the specialization all supported by a program of general studies.
Brooklyn Academy Of Fine Arts The Brooklyn Academy of Fine Arts was a small, short-lived art academy located in Brooklyn, New York. The sole instructor at the academy was Michael Falanga, a classical Italian artist.
The academy's sole claim to fame is the discovery of Frank Frazetta, ca. 1936. It closed about a year after Falanga's death in 1944.
Palace Of Fine Arts The Palace of Fine Arts in the Marina District of San Francisco, California is a building originally constructed for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition. It was designed by Bernard Maybeck, who took his inspiration from Roman and Greek architecture. It was the only building from the Exposition not to be demolished, and in the 1960s it was entirely rebuilt to ensure its longevity. The exhibition hall, which originally housed Impressionist paintings during the Exposition, is now home to the Exploratorium, a state of the art interactive science museum.
Fine Art Pot The fine art pot aspires to the conditions of art, often placing functionality in the background. It is the opposite of the ethical pot (or utilitarian pottery). These two positions originate from the anxiety of a place and definition for the crafts in the age of industrialisation and mechanised-production. Modern ceramic artists/potters often engage in what has become know as "the Art vs. Craft debate". ----
The Barber Institute Of Fine Arts The Barber Institute of Fine Arts is an art gallery in the English city of Birmingham, situated in purpose built premises on the campus of the University of Birmingham. The Grade II listed building, designed by Robert Atkinson in the 1930s and opened in 1939 by Queen Mary, is a fine example of art deco architecture. The layout of the museum is centred around a central music atrium which is surrounded by lecture halls, offices and libraries on the ground floor and art galleries on the first floor.
Slade Professor Of Fine Art The Slade Professorship of Fine Art is the senior professorship of art at the universities of Cambridge, Oxford and London. The chairs were founded concurrently in 1869 by a bequest from the art collector and philanthropist Felix Slade, with studentships also created in London University. The studentships allowed for the creation of the Slade School of Art.
Master of Fine Arts (MFA) is a graduate degree in an area of applied or performing arts typically requiring two to three years of study beyond the Bachelor's level. Coursework is primarily of an applied or performing nature (versus research and academic inquiry) with the program often culminating in a major work or performance.
