Program Overview

Visual arts program concerns all technical and artistic approaches to produce visual arts in an innovative and creative manner. In a wide range of mediums and techniques, visual arts students work with painting, printmaking, sculpting and design to develop artistic messages that influence the community and communicate with a large segment of the art audience. The program prepares professional and qualified artists to assume responsibility, and to take part in major art centres in various sectors of the State.

Visual art is recognized through a wide spectre of expressions, from drawing and painting, crafts, architecture, design, art in public space and art in social relations. The pathway of visual arts offers a focus on visual art, graphic design, and multi-media design. A Visual Art degree provides students with experience with drawing, design, painting, and history.  

We celebrate the visual arts not only in the way we create images and objects but also in the way we appreciate, enjoy, respect and respond to the practices of art-making by others from around the world. Theories and practices in visual arts are dynamic and ever-changing, and connect many areas of knowledge and human experience through individual and collaborative exploration, creative production and critical interpretation.
