New Zealand Certificate in Arts and Design (Level 4)

Otago Polytechnic

Artists and designers work in lots of different areas and career opportunities in the creative industries are exciting and diverse. This programme will give you a taste of what studying art and design is all about. You'll begin to build the skills and degree-level portfolio you need to apply for the Bachelor of Design (Communication or Fashion) or Bachelor of Visuals Arts, or to prepare for a junior role in a creative workplace. You'll develop your research skills by studying art and design history, learn about creative processes and materials, explore idea development through drawing, illustration/cartoon and sculpture, and create your own art or design project which will be showcased in an exhibition.
