Art and design critical studies essays are assessed on the quality of theoretical engagement alongside the visual intelligence of the argument. An essay that describes artworks accurately without applying a critical framework, feminist theory, institutional critique, post-colonial theory, semiotics, misses the core requirement of the assignment.
Our art and design mentors hold MA and PhD degrees in Fine Art, Design History, Visual Culture, and Critical Theory from institutions including the Slade, RCA, Goldsmiths, and Central Saint Martins.
We support critical studies essays, contextual research reports, dissertation proposals and chapters, artist statement writing, and theoretical essays for all art and design disciplines including fine art, graphic design, illustration, fashion, textiles, and product design.
