Your introduction to formal study in visual art or your pathway to further study.
The Graduate Certificate in Visual Art provides practical and theoretical coursework elements through studio workshops and studies in art history and theory. Each week during the semester, you will work in three-hour studio workshops where you can choose to work in painting, drawing, digital technologies, printmaking, sculpture, installation, performance or photography, and/or a combination of the above. Throughout the year, you can develop set projects with the assistance of your tutors and present them in formal group discussions and critical reflection.
The Graduate Certificate in Visual Art provides eligibility for entry into the Master of Contemporary Art. The Master of Contemporary Art is a two-year coursework degree, with an exit point of a Postgraduate Diploma in Contemporary Art on completion of the first 100 points of study.
