The official part:

'In this area of study students make artworks that are developed from the experimentation and investigation in their Visual Arts journal in Area of Study 1. This area of study also focuses on the way students manipulate materials and apply techniques and processes to develop an individual style in their artworks. Students demonstrate how they have integrated the inspirations and influences of other artists and expanded on their ideas in their own artworks. They also develop their use of visual language to communicate ideas in their artworks.
Students present their work for critique by their peers, in order to reflect on their art making. This also provides students with the opportunity to reflect as a group on the artworks they have made. Students explain and evaluate their art making in a presentation to their peers. They share a selection of their developmental work from their Visual Arts journal, as well as at least two artworks. These artworks may be a result of experimentations, in the process of development or finished artworks. The critique enables students to reflect on the use of subject matter and the ideas represented in the artworks they have made. They use critical and reflective thinking to consider the successes of their art making and artworks, and further improvements they can make. They also consider how they can further develop their art making and artworks in Unit 4.
