Certificate II in Visual Arts
If you're keen to develop your creative skills for a career in visual arts, this course is for you!
Being successful in the visual arts industry requires creative flair, but there's also some technical know-how behind it all — that's where this nationally accredited and recognised qualification can add value for your future career.
You'll gain skills in drawing fundamentals and how to follow a design process for a range of techniques using mixed media, including digital art and photography. Depending on where you do the course, you may also learn ceramics and sculpture or other visual art types. Learning is very hands on, with experienced professional visual artists as your teachers, and you will also learn about the professional and business side of visual arts.
Completion of this course can provide credit towards a relevant higher level qualification, should you wish to pursue further study.
