Visual Arts - Art

This course focuses on developing the student’s skills in a range of methods and materials. Students will have the opportunity to discuss and analyse works of Australian and International practitioners both past and present and use this as a foundation for their own major work. There is an emphasis on visual thinking and how students communicate their ideas, thought processes and responses throughout their learning.

This subject includes 3 areas of study:

• Visual Thinking, developing the ability to view, understand, analyse and record ideas and thoughts.
• Practical Resolution, students resolve, create, make and present finished art works.
• Visual Art in Context, students learn to understand the historical, cultural and social circumstances which produce art in a community.
