The Visual Arts
course at a senior level is divided into two components: Preliminary
course (Year 11), |
Year 11 serves as the foundation for the senior course. It encourages students in a broad range of experiences motivating them to investigate, develop, evaluate and utilise their own personal ideas, values and beliefs. This is reinforced by the critical and historical study of artworks in the forms of case studies and essay writing formats. |
Visual Arts Process Diary All students are required to keep a Visual Arts Process Diary for the duration of each course. Their diary is used for planning and reflective purposes and provides evidences of the range of learning activities undertaken. |
