Creative Arts

Content

Creative Arts is a course that allows students to study art, design, multimedia and performing arts. Students will create a practical skills folio and demonstrate proficiency in their chosen medium. They will study an artist, analyse their work, and complete a product task.  This leads to the production of two major products developed from their folio. Students work with some independence to develop their style in the making and responding to works of art, design, multimedia and performing arts.
