Art

Content

This course is based on two strands of the Australian Curriculum, Making and Responding. 

Making focuses on developing artistic skills and processes; students will develop practical skills through exploring materials and processes while learning to apply these skills to various types of 2D and 3D art-making. 

Responding focuses on developing a student's ability to communicate about art. This is achieved through a variety of written forms, which may include aspects of:

• Planning and communicating their art-making in both written and visual forms (Folio)
• Identify and analyse how other artists use visual elements to communicate ideas

• Explaining the use of techniques and processes to communicate meaning in their artworks 
• Reflection on and evaluation of artworks 
• Development of knowledge and skills in relation to art vocabulary

Assessment 

Tasks may include:

• Design elements and their application
• Principles of drawing (observational, perspective, portraiture)
• Painting Acrylic or Watercolour (incorporating colour theory)
• Digital art technologies
• 3D construction (various materials) 
• Printmaking

Each assessment task will consist of the following three components:

• Development work (Folio)
• Practical (Final Artwork)
• Analysis, reflection and or evaluation of practice (Theory)

Additional Information

It is an expectation that all students are equipped with basic drawing materials (pencil, eraser, ruler) and have an A4 artbook.
