Visual Arts: Art engages students in conceptual and practical aspects of creative human endeavour. It emphasises visual thinking and investigation and the ability to develop ideas, refine technical skills and produce imaginative solutions. Students learn to communicate personal thoughts, values and feelings, and represent their lived or imagined experiences in visual form. Of particular interest in this subject are past and present influences that impact on the visual arts: local and global events, social and political values, different perspectives provided by the diversity of cultural groups, and the styles, aesthetic values and philosophies of artists from different contexts. Students may use a variety of media, materials, techniques and methods in Visual Arts: Art.
