Visual Arts

Established in 1976, the ANU School of Art has built a reputation as a leading arts educator offering undergraduate and graduate training in nine art and design disciplines:

• Ceramics
• Glass
• Gold and Silversmithing
• Painting
• Photography and Media Arts
• Printmedia and Drawing
• Sculpture
• Textiles 
• Furniture

The use of new technologies, such as computer-based design and multimedia applications, and their integration with traditional visual media, is an integral part of the School’s philosophy. Courses to complement and extend studies in the major Workshops are provided by the Art Theory and Core Studies Workshops, and the Applied Design, Temporal Digital Media Studies, Field Studies and Edition and Artist’s Book Studio.

Music

A spirit of inquiry and challenging of assumptions are central to our educational practice. For us, education is more than training in professional music practice - it is the development of the questioning, creative artist. Research at the School of Music asks the important questions about music in Australia and elsewhere what music means, who it is for, and what it might be in the future. It also pushes the boundaries of traditional definitions of research, placing creative musical performance and composition at the heart of original contributions to human knowledge and understanding.

Film and New Media Studies

Film in all its genres and formats, from celluloid to the new media worlds of digital FX, through all the new kinds of screens available in the digital era, continues to be a leading art form and a major means of communication of our time.
