Visual Arts (Year 7)
In Year 7 Visual Arts, the overall theme is “Let’s Talk About Art”. The students are given the opportunity to develop core skills in Drawing, Painting, Sculpture, Ceramics, Printmaking and Digital Photography. These skills are taught in conjunction with learning about the Elements and Principles of Visual Arts as well as the methodologies of STUDIO PRACTICE. The students also learn about the function of the artist to make artworks within a social and cultural context.
Below are some art works by our current Year 7 students:
