Synopsis

This unit provides pre-service primary education students with an introduction to disciplinary knowledge specific to the Visual Arts. It addresses studio practice within the context of both art historical and art critical practices, so as to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the sources of knowledge that inform both professional and curriculum practice in the Visual Arts. The unit provides students with exercises in studio technique, methods of historical investigation of artworks and techniques for appreciation of artworks. Students will understand how these different practices can be integrated in relation to Visual Arts study and practical explorations in art making.
