Elective Visual Arts
They further extend upon the skills learnt during the mandatory course, exploring the Visual Arts of both past and present. The course focus is on independent art making practice. Students are encouraged to participate, to respect each others' views, to visually communicate explored themes, and their own ideas.
Throughout this unit students are introduced to wide range of materials and techniques. These include drawing, ceramics, assemblage, painting, photography, digital illustration and sculpture. Students build upon the fundamentals of art to build problem solving, critical thinking and creative skills.
Students are required to explore a range of concepts through manipulating materials and experimentation to make a Body of Work. All classwork is recorded in a Visual Arts diary including documentation of artworks, ideas and reflective evaluations.
