Bachelor of Education (Secondary)/Bachelor of Arts (Visual Arts)

The combined Bachelor of Education (Secondary)Bachelor of Arts (Visual Arts) is an opportunity to share your creative passions and artistic sensibilities with the next generation. Learn from experienced mentors to gain the confidence and knowledge to teach visual arts while building your own skills in visual media. Develop expertise and broaden your knowledge in drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture and object design. Gain practical experience preparing and curating exhibitions or developing a commissioned artistic project. Enhance your skills over time, from observing your mentor teacher, to co-teaching, through to planning for and teaching multiple classes a day. You will study visual arts as a major alongside another specialisation from our Arts disciplines.All initial teacher education programs must include a defined period, or professional experience, where pre-service teachers practise teaching in a school under the direct supervision and guidance of an appropriately qualified teacher. In order to graduate, pre-service teachers must satisfy all the requirements of their program, including the professional experience requirements. Supervised professional experience is at the heart of all our pre-service teacher education courses and the Faculty will find appropriate placements to suit the needs of your course. Placements will usually be arranged for the scheduled placement period in the professional experience calendar though this may not always be possible.
