Purpose
The purpose of the Bachelor of Arts Honours in Visual Art is to prepare students for research-based postgraduate study and entry into the diverse careers in the visual and cultural industries by enabling students to produce creative solutions to complex problems within specialist areas of academic enquiry. Such areas comprise Research Methodologies, Proposal Writing and Dissertation as well as either Art History and Theory or Studio Practice and Visual Art Professional Practice, to exhibit this work professionally and to conduct and report on research under supervision. The Bachelor of Arts Honours in Visual Art curriculum accommodates students who wish to pursue a Studio Practice (Practical) major, a theoretical focus on Art History and Visual Theory and aspects of work integrated learning or community-engaged art practice. The curriculum also accommodates Humanities Faculty students who have specialised in Art History. The programme comprises five modules, one of which is compulsory for all students, as well as four independent elective modules, from which either of two sets of elective modules are selected, which accommodates the student’s area of specialisation.
