Program overview

During the first year, you are introduced to studio based learning in both two-dimensional and multi-dimensional projects. Learning may take place in a studio or workshop, lecture, tutorial, library, gallery or another learning setting, on- or off-campus. From 2019, students may also choose elective studies that include engagement in activities in community arts events and to prepare for future employment in the Creative Industries. In your second and third years of study you will continue to explore and deepen your specialist studio based interests and adopt critical approaches in your practice, continuing to develop yourself as a creative practitioner. In the final year of your degree, you will propose a self-directed project incorporating research and contemporary art practice, supported by staff from a number of specialist studios. You will be working in, or across, the different studios or directly with practitioners in community based arts activities and events. This will culminate in opportunities to exhibit, engage in community cultural events and explore your future opportunities in diverse creative industries. To prepare for opportunities in the Creative Industries, elective subjects in Cultural Leadership and Management may be studied in distance learning mode. You will develop the skills and understanding required for employment in community arts as future leaders and entrepreneurs. Our open, flexible studios in the Visual Arts include specialized facilities for work in ceramics/3D materials, drawing, printmaking, photography and painting. All intensive teaching staff are practicing artists and designers with considerable reputations in Australia.
