Overview

Bachelor of Visual Arts - Painting

The Bachelor of Visual Arts will equip you with the necessary historical, theoretical and practical knowledge to begin a career in the visual arts. 

Working with accomplished artists, art historians and other industry leaders, you will learn how to navigate and succeed in the visual arts sector. 

This degree consists primarily of studio and art theory courses.

In the first year, you will undertake introductory courses in painting, sculpture, photography and Indigenous art and protocols with the additional choice of foundation courses in either printmaking, jewellery and small objects, or digital media. 

In your second year, you will specialise in either painting, sculpture, or photography, with electives in other disciplines at the Queensland College of Art and across Griffith University.

In your third year, you will continue your major, learn important professional practice skills and produce a major cross-disciplinary project and exhibition. 

Courses in art theory underpin all three years of the program and provide an important foundation for studio practice or further art historical and curatorial study.

Work-integrated learning

Courses within this degree include work-integrated learning experiences such as:

  • professional practice/work placements,
  • industry projects performed at the university or in a workplace,
  • undertake industry internships or other volunteering opportunities,
  • learning activities within virtual and simulated work environments.
