Career Outcomes
Printmaker
Printmakers design and create prints using techniques such as woodcuts or silkscreens to produce images that are transposed onto surfaces, generally using a printing press.
Illustrator
Illustrators are narrative artists who enhance writing by providing a visual representation that corresponds to the content of the associated text. They produce the original art with the help of different artistic products and skills.
Photographer
Photographers operate cameras and lighting equipment to take photographs of people, places, products and other subjects. They can specialise in press, fashion, scientific, commercial, industrial, medical, portrait, wedding, advertising or architectural photography.
Sculptor
Sculptors conceive and develop designs for sculpture, deciding on the material and techniques to be used when sculpting and selecting materials of suitable proportions, quality and texture. They sketch designs or make models of wax or plaster and carve, model or assemble materials to the desired form using hand or power tools. They may also fire clay objects in kilns and prepare moulds for casting sculptures in metal.
