Course summary

Transform your practice - and grow as an artist, professional and art educator. On this course you’ll develop your artistic practice. You’ll push boundaries and take creative risks. You’ll create, exhibit, interpret and reflect on art. And you’ll witness your growth as an artist. You’ll learn as part of a vibrant and supportive community of art educators and professional artists who are passionate about art. You’ll have the freedom to take your learning and your practice in any direction you choose. And you can focus on any medium - like:

  • painting
  • ceramics
  • textiles
  • video
  • sound
  • performance
As you develop artistically, you’ll also broaden your art teaching skill set. You’ll spark new ideas and create new teaching approaches. You’ll emerge equipped to break into art teaching or ready to take your teaching to the next level. And you’ll have a professional practice that stands up to artistic scrutiny.

Assessment method

On the course, you’ll develop a practice that authentically represents your own ideas and inspirations. Our teaching structure is open-ended. You’ll be guided to make, exhibit, interpret and reflect - but you can take your learning in any direction. You’ll also examine contemporary themes in art. And you’ll consider works through lenses like anti-racism, decolonisation, gender and queer culture. You’ll work with a community of practitioners who are passionate about art - and from all different contexts - including: art and design teachers community art instructors artists in residence gallery or museum educators You’ll share ideas, challenge perspectives and learn from each other. And you’ll develop a lasting network of art education professionals. You’ll be supported to exhibit artworks locally, regionally and nationally. For example, the Settlement Virtual Exhibition was developed with students and alumni, in partnership with the Pitt Rivers Museum and Henge21 - a local community arts project.
