Online Graphic Design Degree :: Accredited Universities

CSU's Bachelor of Arts (Fine Arts) offers students a pathway to Visual Arts practice, in collaboration with TAFE. As future artists, designers, educators or arts managers, students can chose from a wide range of studio options including traditional fine art media such as painting and drawing through to multimedia, design and photography.

The Bachelor of Arts (Fine­­­ Arts) at CSU includes an articulation arrangement with TAFE NSW Riverina Institute, Wagga Wagga. Students wishing to undertake this pathway need to complete at least a Diploma in Visual Arts at TAFE before entering the program with CSU. Students who have previously completed the Certificate IV, Diploma or Advanced Diploma in Fine Art also qualify to apply to the Fine Art program with CSU.

As part of the course, students will study drawing, painting and printmaking. They will have the opportunity to study subjects from illustration, photography, graphic design, or design subjects for theatre and television. To relate their studio work to the wider world of visual arts practice, students will also study art history and visual culture subjects.

Whichever pathway you choose, Fine Art is about making artworks to communicate ideas, lived experiences, thoughts or feelings and to understand your relationship as an artist to the wider field of contemporary arts practice in Australia and internationally.
