Diploma of Visual Arts
Successfully complete the Diploma course and then continue to the Advanced Diploma of Visual Arts. When you study a visual art course, you'll create a professional folio of work. This diploma is taught by practicing artists in real studio environments. All of our staff are practicing artists with a national and international reputation in the arts. This enables them to connect you to work on projects with industry, other practicing artists, and galleries.
The one-year Diploma offers both practical and theoretical courses, which have been developed in conjunction with the arts industry. It is designed to prepare you for a career in the visual arts or other related creative fields.
On completion of the first year, you will transition to the Advanced Diploma of Visual Arts. This is also a one-year course, which allows you to further investigate your creative practice with a more specialised focus.
A major focus is the production of a professional folio of work that reflects your personal creativity. The folio will display a sequential development, with emphasis on the acquisition of skills and the adaptation of those skills to the production of artworks with a sound personal philosophical base.
The course has a strong focus on exhibition practice and providing practical experience in the arts industry. You will undertake independent studio practice and develop a wide-range of highly specialised technical, creative and conceptual skills and knowledge.
