BIG QUESTION: How can I communicate my ideas through art?
This course aims to show you different ways of making art to express yourself with different media and styles. You will explore different areas of art making - drawing, painting, printmaking and sculpture. You will be guided through these processes to build skills and learn how to create your own unique artworks. Themes include graffiti text, patterns, insects, colour theory, painting techniques and relief sculpture. You will develop practical art skills, problem-solving skills, lateral thinking, self-motivation and creative thinking.
Students may study Art for one semester or two semesters. We recommend a full year course for those interested in the Senior Art Pathway.
