COURSE DESCRIPTION
Immerse yourself in a creative environment and hone your artistic practice with studio specialisations at a world-leading art and design school.
Taught in intensive studio format, the Bachelor of Arts (Fine Arts) allows you to find your niche and hone your practice. Through your studies you will develop your capacity to address conceptual, technical, perceptual, formal and aesthetic concerns within the fine art space. RMIT’s teaching style is centred around you as an individual. You’ll receive personal mentoring that challenges and pushes you to discover and form your own art practice or specialisation.
Our teaching staff are active industry experts who are highly involved within the field of contemporary art. Studios are taught by high-profile practising artists who exhibit locally and internationally, so you can connect with what’s happening in the art world. Studios are complemented by studies in art history, theories and cultures, and in the professional skills you’ll need to succeed in the arts and creative industries. This degree is also delivered in Hong Kong by the Hong Kong Art School.
