Graduate Profile
Treasa O’Brien
Sculpture
“Studying the sculpture programme in LSAD
taught me self-reliance and critical evaluation
skills and helped me to examine my own artmaking
in a wider context.
The location and involvement of the school in
the city make it an ideal place to keep an artist
rooted and responsive to ‘real’ life.”
Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in
Fine Art in Sculpture &
Combined Media (Level 8)
Programme Description
This programme is structured to respond to the changing nature of contemporary sculptural art practice and incorporates the use and understanding of new media, technologies and materials including: Video; Film; Performance Art; Public Art; Web and CDROM Based Media; Installation and Photography.
The main development in recent years has been the introduction
