Bring your creative ideas and visions to life in a holistic studio environment
During this course, you'll explore, practise and demonstrate what it means to be a creative practitioner, while gaining the skills and knowledge required to be self-sufficient upon graduation.
This course brings together lecturers and students from the following disciplines:
- visual art
- jewellery
- product design
It is designed for artists and designers who are seeking to refine their skills and knowledge in a holistic studio environment.
You'll develop your own project proposals in one of these three specialisations and work closely with our lecturers and technicians to explore your ideas and bring your visions to life. At the end of the Advanced Diploma of Visual Art, you are invited to participate in a graduation exhibition, renowned nationally for showcasing some of Western Australia’s best emerging artists and designers.
You will study in our purpose-built art and design facilities and have access to a broad range of industry-standard equipment and materials. North Metropolitan TAFE’s reputation for producing outstanding graduates is built on more than 100 years of high-quality art and design training in Western Australia.
As a visual artist or designer, you may choose to develop your own independent practice, seek employment opportunities within specific creative industries, or explore other opportunities, such as internships or residencies, that will further focus and extend your creative practice. Visual artists and designers possess transferable ‘creative skills’ that can be applied in a variety of professional contexts and support interdisciplinary collaborations across existing and emerging industries. Career opportunities for artists and designers exist across a broad range of arts, government and commercial organisations.
This course is only offered in Semester 1 each year.
