Certificate IV in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultural Arts

Are you looking to take your talent, creativity and skill as an Indigenous artist further? The Certificate IV in Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander Cultural Arts has been designed for Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people who want to immerse themselves in the world of cultural and Indigenous art.

You will learn how to:

• Produce drawings to communicate ideas
• Produce work that expresses your own Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander identity
• Develop and apply knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural arts
• Realise a creative project
• Research history and theory to inform your art practice

In addition, you can choose from a number of elective units that will help you meet your goals as an Indigenous artist.

Once you have successfully completed the Certificate IV in Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander Cultural Arts you may choose to pursue a career as an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Ceramics Studio Assistant or Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Arts Centre Assistant.

This course can be studied full-time or online.

Please note: The local cultural knowledge needed to achieve some of the units of competency in this qualification may only be accessible to Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people. If you are not of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander heritage, you will be expected to work closely with the local Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander community, for example through establishing a local Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander reference group.
