Visual Arts, Craft and Design
IBSA has just commenced a project to develop higher level qualifications in Visual Arts, Crafts and Design for inclusion in CUV03. The project will explore the option of incorporating accredited or newly developed qualifications from States/Territories into specialised national visual arts, craft and design qualifications. The higher level qualifications are to ensure a range of pathway/electives in two key areas that include:
- art-form skills development
- professional practice requirements
In particular, the focus will be on issues that have a high value in the visual arts craft and design sectors:
- higher level technical and conceptual skills
- the need to support articulation into higher education
