STELLENBOSCH UNIVERSITY VISUAL ARTS DEPARTMENT
This platform serves as the Graduate Exhibition of Stellenbosch University’s Visual Art Department. It showcases the work of the fourth years from the three disciplines, Fine Art, Jewellery Design and Visual Communication Design. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the graduating class of 2020 decided to exhibit their work in an accessible online format. Use the menu tabs on the right to navigate the work from the different disciplines.
This is the fourth and final year for the undergraduate students and is the equivalent of an honours degree. This year they have combined theory and practice to create practice-based research projects. These year-long projects are aimed at generating new knowledge, solving problems and changing mindsets. Using traditional and new techniques, the students work towards creating meaningful projects that consider social, environmental and cultural responsibility. Fine Art, Jewellery Design and Visual Communication Design courses encourage students to act and think critically in an aim to change the world for the better.
