Bachelor of Contemporary Art
Program Overview
This degree is for those who want to engage in fields of art including painting, photography, screen-based media, installation, street art, sculpture, curation or illustration. Students will study in a community where individual vision and personality are valued as a relevant contribution to our society.
Students will develop and gain a deep understanding of creativity in art and use this to respond to situations that demand combinations of ideas, technologies and techniques that result in new forms of knowledge and making. Such knowledge is powerful in the careers that will sustain and transform our world.
What you will learn
In the first year of the Bachelor of Contemporary Art, students will take three core modules:
- Contemporary Art craft: Develop your specialised skills
- Critical methods: Understand the arts and cultural word
- Professional practice: Learn the ways of industry
To complement, students will add two electives of their choice so they can broaden their creative toolkit, such as the fundamentals in sound, storytelling, and moving image, with more options to choose from.
These electives will give students a secure grounding in the technical, theoretical, and professional skills, while also exposing them to broader ideas about the arts and the cultural world around them.
