Visual Art
Visual Art focuses student learning on Arts practice and Arts understanding.
This subject offers students the flexibility to explore materials creatively, use a range of subject matter, and encourages them to find ways to express and communicate personal ideas.
Through arts practice, we develop a range of art-making skills and knowledge of techniques and processes. Students gain a sense of personal identity by being encouraged to appreciate their own artworks and that of others. We explore the work of other Artists as a means of developing student work and appreciating art in our ever-changing world.
