VCE Studio Arts + VCD

In Unit 4 we will:

• continue to develop our art practice through Project-based and Inquiry learning as your research and exploration continues to support the development of their Body of Work.

• study the practices of selected historical and contemporary artists to inform our own art practice, through research

• use the Interpretive Lenses to analyse, compare and interpret the meanings and messages of artworks produced by the artists we study.

• apply the Interpretive Lenses throughout the Creative Practice to resolve and refine your Body of Work.

• continue to build upon the ideas begun in Unit 3 and present a critique of their use of the Creative Practice.

• reflect on the feedback from your critique to further refine and resolve a Body of Work that demonstrates your use of the Creative Practice and the realisation of your personal ideas.

• present your Body of Work to an audience accompanied by documentation of your use of the Creative Practice.

​​

In Unit 4, Areas of Study 1 and 2 are taught concurrently. The critique in Area of Study 1 takes place before the resolution and presentation of the Body of Work. Documentation of the Creative Practice is carried throughout Areas of Study 1 and 2 in the refinement, resolution and presentation of the student’s Body of Work.

Your use of the Creative Practice involves both Making and Responding and is underpinned by the Interpretive Lenses. We will:

• use the Interpretive Lenses to analyse and interpret the meanings and messages of artworks created by the artists they study and to investigate the practices used to create them.

Applied together, these Interpretive Lenses enable us to appreciate how an artwork may contain different aspects and layers of meaning and to acknowledge the validity of diverse interpretations.

We will:

• view a range of artworks in different contexts and interpret the ideas and meanings communicated in the artworks.
