About this course

The Certificate III in Visual Arts is a great place to begin your training as a visual artist. This qualification reflects the role of individuals who are developing a range of visual art skills. Foundation skills in painting, drawing, printmaking, silver-smithing, creative process and basic design are offered in this course.

The Studio Area Specialisation - The Studio Area Specialisation has been designed for students who would like have a specialisation in two studio areas. Students are to choose two studio areas from Printmaking, Painting or Jewellery. In this course you will complete art theory and history and drawing as well as your chosen area of specialisation where you select between two pathways for this course.

Silversmithing Specialisation - The Silversmithing Specialisation has been designed for students who would like to specialise in units mainly related to silversmithing. This specialisation has been developed to provide students with the skills and knowledge to create jewellery and work (largely silversmithing artifacts) within a visual art and fine art context.

This course is in transition as of 16 April 2021, and has been replaced by CUA31120 Certificate III in Visual Arts.
