Bachelor of Design - Applied Visual Art

With this programme, you will be able to learn how to frame and develop creative ideas through hands-on interaction with a range of media and prepare yourself for independent art practice in a studio environment.

Applied visual art aims to develop the student as an independent art practitioner or designer. The course of study includes design strategies, drawing, printmaking and sculptural skills in a range of materials. In addition, students will choose three courses from a range of electives to develop complementary skills in particular areas of interest. As well as studio courses, students will complete a group of core courses in academic subjects, including both professional and contextual studies, which will give them developed communication skills, a background in the history and sociology of creative practices, insights into contemporary professional ethics and some business skills.
