Bachelor of Creative Arts - Visual Arts

Australian Catholic University

Allow yourself the freedom to explore your creative side while developing the skills and experience to prepare for an ever-changing jobs market. You don’t need an extensive portfolio to apply and you won’t go through a gruelling audition process, just be ready to explore a range of creative arts that foster flexible and innovative thinking, promote creative solutions and explore self-expression. Throughout your degree you’ll have the opportunity to exhibit your skills to the public through exhibitions, publications and performances, and take up overseas study opportunities and work within local communities. Then in your final year, you’ll complete a major creative project in your chosen art form, whether it’s communication, creative writing, design and technologies, drama, English, graphic design, media, music, or visual arts.The visual arts major sequence provides a mix of art and design history and theory electives and studio-based fine art. You’ll experience a range of professional practice opportunities such as entering your work in art competitions, writing publish-ready interviews, articles and art reviews and presenting you artwork in group exhibitions in the ACU gallery. You will be trained by staff who are active practitioners in their field and benefit from small class sizes in an intimate studio environment. If you’re on an education pathway, you can combine a major in the visual arts with a teaching qualification to prepare you for secondary level visual arts teaching.
