Course Description

In the Visual Arts course, students engage in traditional and contemporary art forms such as drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, mixed media, textiles or ceramics. Students will be encouraged to express individualism and creativity in their application of ideas and materials in the making of their 2D and/or 3D artworks. They will be able to explore different mediums each semester, allowing for students to take more than one Art unit. Projects will be tailored to suit the class where possible.

Emphasis is placed on the practical production piece (final artwork); however, students will explore, research, document, design, create and evaluate in both practical and written areas of the course. Tasks will include drawing/visual inquiry, production work, investigation, and analysis.

Students considering a Visual Arts course in Year 11 are strongly encouraged to complete at least one Visual Arts unit in Year 10. Students may choose more than one Visual Arts course.
