| Learning Strategies: | ||||
| Visual Art is not only an art form but is a way of seeing the world. We teach in a way that encourages students to examine and respond to their world. In this course, students learn to work independently, experiment with media to construct meaningful artworks, and respond to and value others' feedback and critique. Students learn to use imagination, observation, research and practical investigation to develop a theme and ideas with increasing depth. Students develop skills in a wide range of media, processes and techniques, engaging with unexpected outcomes and exploring multiple solutions. | ||||
| Main Areas of Study: | ||||
| In year 12 art students will start the year developing work using a range of wet and dry drawing media, then extend skills in sequences that gradually expand and deepen ideas. Students will experiment with a wide range of painting and/or printmaking processes, materials and techniques. Throughout the year students develop their own individual voice, style, and creative approaches, learning to work as artists in their own right. This course is primarily practical, but also develops thinking and research skills. Students will explore their own theme and create a sequential body of work. | ||||
