Visual Arts Studio Certificate

Thompson Rivers University

Discover art making and history of art through studio and theoretical courses in a variety of media. The 30-credit certificate program includes foundation courses and second-year studio courses. Students have gone on to present their work in galleries across Canada. Students in the Visual Arts at Thompson Rivers University can have the best of two worlds: courses can be counted toward a Certificate, a Diploma and toward a Bachelor of Fine Arts and a Bachelor of Arts with a Minor in Visual Arts, or other university degrees at the same time. The Certificate gives students an introduction to current art practices, in 2D and 3D media, with emphasis on 2D design, drawing, painting, colour theory, printmaking, photography, 3D design, sculpture and ceramics. The Certificate is useful on a resume for job applications or entrance to academic programs that require some practical knowledge in visual arts.
