Description

The Diploma of Visual Art & Craft develops unique individual creative resources and applies theory to practice. Research and observation, experimentation and evaluation lead to skills in key areas of contemporary visual art and craft practice.

Specialised studio training is offered in painting, printmedia, digital art, ceramics and sculpture, with core skills and knowledge in drawing, professional practice and visual culture. Elective units provide a wide variety of opportunities, including studio or field projects that require an individual interpretation of specific criteria established by the arts industry. Participants learn to integrate ideas and technical skills with the requirements of the brief, and review and assess the results using their knowledge of contemporary and past practices in the visual arts and craft.
