Subject Description

Art provides students with the opportunity to develop their personal aesthetic, exploring concepts through practical and theoretical approaches. They learn to express their worldviews and engage with the visual thinking, the design process, and the working practices of other artists through the exploration of visual artists from different contexts. Students have the opportunity to explore a variety of media, materials and processes in the refinement of their practical work.

Content

Students develop a folio of work, both practical and theoretical, leading to the production of a range of negotiated end products which are project-based. Each project will explore and demonstrate experimentation in a variety of styles, forms, methods and materials, with links to an artist or art movement. Students will learn and develop their skills in the following disciplines: drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture and mixed media. There is a focus on the development of concepts, self-expression and a personal aesthetic through the creation of individual work.
