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 understanding of world culture and their responsibilities as global citizens.
Art: Perspectives explores explores the concept of Perspectives 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 an artist, students continue to build knowledge as they develop skills and use artwork to communicate to an audience. Students are challenged to consider the way art can communicate perspectives of culture, identity, place and spaces. 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 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.
