Year 9 Visual Art & Design

Year: 9 – Elective
Length: Semester
Contact Person: Tenille Mannion

Content: This course focus on familiarising students with a range of visual art and design techniques and theoretical knowledge. Students develop their awareness of how and why artists and designers realise their ideas through different visual representations, practices, processes and viewpoints. They refine their own artwork/design products through making and responding perceptively and conceptually as an artist/designer or audience member.

Students will research, analyse, manipulate, create and deconstruct other practitioners’ work, as well as their own. They will systematically work through the art and design process to create resolved works of art/design. The course will explore two-dimensional and three-dimensional work.

Assessment: Students are assessed using the Australian Curriculum Achievement Standards.
