Overview

The Bachelor of Fine Arts (Visual Art) offers an immersive, studio-based environment that fosters self-directed studio practice in the areas of drawing and printmaking, painting, photography, or sculpture.

Students are expected to develop studio projects that require investigation and experimentation with a range of concepts, materials, techniques and processes. In second and third year, students are involved in sustained exploration and experimentation with ideas, procedures and methodologies of practice, culminating in a resolved body of artwork for the graduate exhibition.

Students also undertake critical and theoretical studies subjects that introduce them to the diversity of contemporary arts practices, and will choose breadth subjects from the Faculty of Fine Arts and Music, or from the University of Melbourne's broad undergraduate subjects.
