Program details

Overview

This certificate introduces students to visual arts and the understanding of artistic practice. The 30-credit, first-cycle curriculum alternates between practical studio courses that support personal creative projects and courses that build general knowledge of historical and contemporary artistic practices. Coursework spans drawing, image-based media, and material exploration alongside art-history content, giving students both technical grounding and critical context for their creative work. The program is intended for students seeking a structured introduction to visual arts production and theory rather than a specialized professional credential. It is offered in full-time and part-time formats at the Gatineau campus, with admission open in the Fall, Winter, and Summer terms, leading to a Certificate credential from Université du Québec en Outaouais.
