Synopsis

In this unit students are immersed in art making. They conceptualise, experiment, reflect and communicate their own artwork. They gain an in-depth experience of art techniques, media and applications. They appraise artworks and make critical and aesthetic decisions. They develop drawing and design expertise leading to a selection of two and three dimensional artworks (such as drawing, printmaking, textiles, mosaic and construction). They explore diverse starting points for art experiences e.g. play-based, issue-based and thematic, as relevant to their own studio practice and art education.

Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this unit students should be able to:

  1. demonstrate competency in drawing and design thinking in the context of studio practice and as applied to educational art experiences
  2. investigate materials, media and effective techniques in two and three dimensional art as relevant to studio practice and school art experiences
  3. develop an awareness of artwork and current theories (post 1970) and their relevance to the role of art in education and society
  4. understand relevant art terminology
  5. develop a personal visual language through the investigation of a chosen theme, leading to art work that embodies art and design thinking, conceptual and problem-solving processes.
