Andrew Monk is currently awaiting acceptance to a four year arts degree at university. “My recently completed study has really set me up for university entrance. Without it I doubt I would have got this far this quickly as you need to have qualifications in today’s world.”

“I had already completed the Visual Arts program at Chisholm and knew that if I wanted to be a full time artist (which is my ultimate goal) I stood a much better chance by enrolling in the Certificate IV course in
Contemporary Art.”

“This cutting edge TAFE course has enabled me to explore my artistic depths using a wide variety of mixed media. Chisholm also has the teaching staff and
material resources to enable a young art student like myself to really look deep inside their own artistic styles and perceptions.” In Andrew Monk’s case this meant reaching into the avant-garde medium. “It was exactly what I needed to do at this crucial point in my career. During the course I was really able to
take new and exciting steps into expressing myself in the study areas of digital imaging, drawing, painting, camera operations, image manipulation and photographic and video techniques. We had it all at our fingertips.”

“All of my teachers were supportive and helpful with technique which further bolstered the quality of my finished product which went on show at Chisholm’s end-of-year graduation exhibition.”
