Art, Craft and Design – through a broad based course of study, developed through a range of 2D, 3D and time-based processes and media, drawn from disciplines. Students will have opportunities to generate practical work, ideas and research from primary, secondary and contextual studies. They will experiment with media and processes, and develop and refine their ideas, presenting their outcomes. Qualities and skills essential for studying Art: Students need to have a passion for the visual arts and be able to demonstrate their creativity. Drawing is an essential skill for studying Art as it forms the core elements of the practice of artists, craftspeople and designers. First hand observational skills are integral to the course. The experimentation of materials, techniques and processes are greatly encouraged. Students need to be able to record personal ideas appropriate to intentions in order to create meaningful responses. They should be aware that there are written elements of the course as this is an important aspect to develop their contextual understanding. Students should be able to write about their own work and the work of others with a working knowledge of critical art vocabulary.
