Visual Arts
In creative arts, students discover a variety of art forms through a study of Drama, Music and Visual Arts.
In contemporary societies many kinds of knowledge are increasingly managed through imagery and visual codes and much of students' knowledge is acquired in this way. Visual Arts empowers students to engage in visual forms of communication and provides an outlet for students to express their personal view of the world in which they live.
Stage 4
In Years 7 and 8, Visual Arts is a compulsory core subject, and students will create a variety of artworks across 2D, 3D and 4D expressive forms. They will begin to develop an understanding of the frameworks used to analyse artworks and apply this to theoretical tasks.
Stage 5
In Years 9 and 10, the Visual Arts faculty offers three electives, Visual Arts, Visual Design, and Photographic & Digital Media, that students can choose from. Students are able to study one or more of these electives if they're interested.
Stage 6
In Years 11 and 12, Visual Arts is offered as an HSC subject, combining the artmaking skills and art historical knowledge developed through Stage 5 Visual Arts, Visual Design and Photographic & Digital Media. Students will begin to refine their artmaking practice, culminating in a year-long Body of Work submitted as part of their HSC course.
