Visual Arts
Visual Arts provides opportunities for students to enjoy the making and studying of art. It builds an understanding of the role of art in all forms of media, both in the contemporary and historical world, and enables students to represent their ideas and interests in artworks. Visual Arts enables students to become informed about, understand and write about their contemporary world.
Students learn to make artworks using a range of materials and techniques in 2D, 3D and 4D forms, including traditional and more contemporary forms, site-specific works, installations, video and digital media and other ICT forms, to build a body of work overtime. They learn to develop their research skills, approaches to experimentation and how to make informed personal choices and judgments. They learn to record procedures and activities about their artmaking practice in their Visual Arts diary. They learn to investigate and respond to a wide range of artists and artworks in artmaking, critical and historical studies.
