Established in 1976, the ANU School of Art has built a reputation as a leading arts educator offering undergraduate training in nine art and craft disciplines—Ceramics, Glass, Gold and Silversmithing, Painting, Photomedia, Printmedia and Drawing, Sculpture, Textiles and Furniture. The use of new technologies, such as computer-based design and multimedia applications, and their integration with traditional visual media, is an integral part of the School’s philosophy. Courses to complement and extend studies in the major Workshops are provided by the Art Theory and Core Studies Workshops, and the Applied Design, Temporal Digital Media Studies, Field Studies, Edition and Artists’ Book Studios.

Howard Archbold Chair Workshop, 2005


 

This is a three-year full-time Pass degree in which the student may major in any one of the disciplines offered by the School's Workshops. As a preparation for their area of major study, first-year students undertake units in the Core Studies Workshop which include life and general drawing, two and three dimensional studies, computer aided art and art theory. In second semester, students commence study in their major Workshop. In subsequent years, students, in addition to their Major, also undertake Art Theory units and Complementary Studies units in disciplines other than their Major. The School also offers Professional Practice as a unit in its Art Theory Workshop, which prepares students for professional life outside the School. As part of this study, students can opt to do a work placement with institutions in Canberra and interstate.

Bachelor of Design Arts
The aim of the Bachelor of Design Arts is to equip graduates to take advantage of changing opportunities within the field of creative arts industries. Recent tendencies towards career pathways which build on the expertise and resources available in the School of Art, and which are directed to professional/commercial design for production and small scale individual craft production, provide the initiative for this proposal. The course follows the structure of the Visual Arts Degree in the School of Art, sharing space resources and expertise, while at the same time developing professionally-oriented applied design outcomes through project-based coursework and application of existing media and technologies. The methodology of the program builds on the emphasis of existing resources on a balance of skill sets between old and new technologies, building on both hand-built and computer-aided design and technologies.

This program aims to:

* enable students to become professional Designer/Makers in contemporary craft and design practice.

* develop creative, critical, analytical, research and communication skills enabling students to participate and contribute to the practical and theoretical discourse in their professional field.

* provide students with personal support and academic guidance in making informed judgements and choices relating to their path of study and career development.
