Visual Arts engages students in a journey of discovery, experimentation and problem-solving relevant to visual perception and visual language. Learning in the Visual Arts helps students to develop an understanding of world culture and their responsibilities as global citizens.
Art: Connections explores the concept of Connections and provides opportunities to enrich students' knowledge and aesthetic experience of the world through critical thinking, making and responding to art in contemporary, personal and cultural contexts. As artists, students continue to build knowledge as they develop skills and use artwork to communicate to an audience. Students will be challenged to consider the way art can communicate reactions to, and connection with, places, spaces and objects. As an audience, students will consider what we can learn from works of art and how context can influence the way visual language is understood.
This is a teacher-directed unit with increasing student independence over the semester.
This subject provides a foundation for further studies of Visual Arts in Year 11 and 12. The skills developed may also have application to other (Humanities/ Science/Arts/Technology) subjects. For pathways beyond school, please refer to the senior course descriptions.
