2D Art

In Year 10 2D Art, students will undertake a more specialised study in the two-dimensional art forms of painting, drawing and printmaking and develop a more focused and perceptive understanding of the art making process. They further explore, express, experiment, respond and interpret different and alternative perspectives of how they think visually about ideas, concepts and issues in their own art making, as well as an appreciation and understanding of other artists and their artistic practice.

Content/Skills
The art disciplines offered are as follows:
▶ Painting
▶ Drawing
▶ Printmaking

Practical areas of study
In this subject students will:
▶ work on a range of practical art tasks
▶ develop ideas and explore materials, techniques and methods in each art discipline
▶ progressively work through an art process that will demonstrate their understanding of the art discipline in which they are working
▶ present their visual diary and final artworks completed.
The visual diary requires students to record all visual information and to make written annotated reflections on all work produced

The Art process is as follows:
▶ Setting a theme
▶ Brainstorming ideas/concepts to a set theme(s)
▶ Research
▶ Explore
▶ Experiment/trial
▶ Select/possible solutions
▶ Develop
▶ Refine/further planning
▶ Produce/final artworks
▶ Present final artworks

Theoretical areas of study In this subject students will:
▶ use a visual diary to document and record the art process. The visual diary requires students to record all visual information and to make
written annotated reflections on all work produced

▶ interpret, identify, analyse and use appropriate terminology when responding to a range of different artworks through written theory
tasks.
