Visual Arts Major

UAC Code: 754605

A major study in Visual Arts is based on studio practice and related theory and history studies. The studio processes cover textiles, painting and sculpture - with support studies in drawing, printmaking, photography, video, installation, digital image making and curatorial practices. Student work is shown throughout the year in gallery spaces in the Faculty.

The first year provides a strong foundation in visual and design concepts. In second year, students move towards their chosen specialization in the studio subjects. Increased emphasis is placed on students’ ability to achieve independence in ideas, technical skills and work practices. Students are encouraged to contextualise their artwork in contemporary practice by developing research processes, attending exhibitions and participating in the wider artistic community. Alongside the studio practice are theory subjects that provide students with the theory, history and context to support their practice. In third year studio subjects, students are expected to explore and develop personal themes and ideas to a greater depth. The focus is on the completion of a major project, culminating in the public exhibition of work within the Graduate Show.
