Year: 12 (Stage 2)
Length: Full Year (20 SACE Credits)
Contact Person: Dan Bradley
Recommended Background: Although not compulsory, study of Stage 1 Visual Art or Design would be beneficial.
Content: Visual Art – Art is a largely practical based course that focuses on the art disciplines of film, animation, installation, assemblage, digital imaging, painting, drawing, mixed media, printmaking, photography, wood, plastic, or metal fabrication, sculpture, ceramics, and/or textiles.
This course is designed to be flexible and student-driven in terms of specialisation in art disciplines. For example, a student may wish to focus upon one art discipline for the entire year, or they may explore several.
Students are expected to take ownership of their direction and document this artistic journey and process accordingly.
Students should engage in creative problem solving techniques allowing them to be immersed in an art making process that is reflective, considered and individual in context whilst allowing a wide cultural scope. Theoretical work is embedded within the entire course through research, annotation and documentation, critical analysis and synthesis and Practitioner’s Statements for all practical work.
Assessment: Students are assessed using the SACE Performance Standards. Students demonstrate evidence of their learning through the following assessment types:
- Assessment Type 1: Folio
- Assessment Type 2: Practical
- Assessment Type 3: Visual Study
Additional Charges: A fee applies to participate in this subject in addition to the CHS Materials and Service charges.
This fee is for the SACE Art Show and Gallery Excursion and the approximate cost is $30.
Students may also need to purchase some art supplies.
