VCE Studio Arts + VCD

 

The official part:

​

In this area of study we:

• explore the characteristics of a range of art forms.

• explore how materials, techniques and processes are used in the making of finished artworks.

• are guided through the development and making of individual artworks based on a set theme.

• use the knowledge they have from your experimentation with materials in Area of Study 1 to make decisions about how materials can be manipulated in at least one finished artwork in Area of Study 2.

Through making your finished artwork, you will:

• develop skills using the materials, techniques and processes of a specific art form.

• explore how these things work together as they refine and resolve at least one finished artwork. 

By working through an inquiry process, you will:

• develop new ways to develop subject matter, represent ideas and communicate meaning in artworks.

• continue to document, annotate and record the making of finished artworks in your Visual Arts journal.

You will:

• write a reflection statement about their experiences and the learning involved in making at least one finished artwork.

• also write an artist’s statement about their art making and how at least one finished artwork has effectively achieved their intentions.’
