Feed your creativity at The Gordon

The Gordon continues to develop and inspire hundreds of students with their creative vocations. From fashion design to visual arts and graphic design, the skills and experiences students will have, can set them up for future careers and let them explore their resourcefulness.
Meg Lee (pictured) a certificate IV in visual arts student, recently completed her course and cannot wait to see where her ideas take her. Her eight-metre history of art (and her journey through the course) is now on display in The Gordon’s Davidson Restaurant. She aims to keep on painting, drawing, welding and sculpting for here on in, and attests her enthusiasm to the excellent teachers she encountered at The Gordon.
The hands-on learning gives students a real connection to their course and provides them with the skills industry is looking for. Fashion students undertake a six-week internship with major labels such as Cotton-On, Sportsgirl, Witchery and Country Road to name a few. These internships allow students to gain strong industry connections and can provide great job outcomes upon completion of their course. Designing their own collections and mastering construction truly gives Gordon students a real edge.
Graphic design students have the opportunity to work on real client briefs and can see their work materialise throughout Geelong. With small class sizes, you are recognised as a person not just as a number, and your learning style and creativity are always supported. As graduates often say ‘you started your learning journey on your own and complete with a group of lifelong friends’.
The Gordon offers art and design courses for all ages (17+) and abilities, so whether you have just completed Year 12 or are looking to return to study, we actively encourage you to apply! Prospective students are encouraged to get their folios together and apply online today. Applications are now open for 2019 but don’t leave it too long as positions fill quickly.
