Course Outline:
Students are working towards learning how to evaluate how representations communicate artistic intentions in artworks they make and view. They evaluate artworks and displays from different cultures, times and places. They analyse connections between visual conventions, practices and viewpoints that represent their own and others’ ideas. They identify influences of other artists’ on their own artworks.
Students manipulate materials, techniques and processes to develop and refine techniques and processes to represent ideas and subject matter in their artworks.
Topics Included:
Students gain an understanding of the following:
Exploring ideas and improvising with ways to represent ideas
Manipulating and applying the elements/concepts with intent
Developing and refining understanding of skills and techniques
Structuring and organising ideas into form
Sharing artworks through display
Analysing and reflecting upon intentions
Responding to and interpreting artworks
With a focus on 2 dimensional practices (such as drawing painting and printmaking), students develop their knowledge of how ideas and intentions are communicated in and through visual arts. They build on and refine their knowledge, understanding and skills through visual arts practices focusing on representations, practices and viewpoints.
Assessment:
A range of practical and theoretical tasks to demonstrate the development of concepts and ideas, exploration of media and experimentation, practical application, analysis and responding.
Additional Costs:
Large complex pieces or expensive materials may incur a cost and will be negotiated with parents. Costs for excursions and workshops, that include entry fees and transport
