This course consists of one day each of painting, drawing, and theory. The fact that the theoretical component of this course begins with the study of pre-modernism and post-modernism is testament of its current and contemporary direction. It aims not only to provide you with the knowledge of materials methods and techniques but also encourages, through exploration, experimentation and research, the development of personal philosophy and concepts.

 

Successful completion of this Diploma may lead to employment as a visual artist, as well as employment in art establishments such as art galleries. Graduates may also advance to higher level studies, or may gain self-employment as an artist. 

Entry requirements are the completion of Year 12 or its equivalent, or an approved qualification in visual arts or vocational experience at least equivalent to Certificate III level.

Applicants are required to submit a folio of their work (see related documents) and also apply through QTAC.

 

Assessment is undertaken throughout the course both in practical and theoretical exercises. Assessment is competency based and you are required to complete all projects and assignments, written and/or practical, as set out within the unit study guides and workbooks. Written, verbal and practical assessments make up the majority of assessments, but attendance, general attitude and your application to your studies are also taken into account.
