3D Art

In this elective study, students will have an opportunity to work with a variety of art disciplines allowing them to experience a mixed media approach to their art making over the course of the semester. Students will learn more about the way in which different art disciplines can be combined to make one artwork as well as being able to work with a range of differing art disciplines to complete a final folio of artworks.

Content/Skills
The art disciplines offered to students are as follows:
▶ Painting/Drawing
▶ Sculpture/Ceramics
Practical areas of study

In this subject students will:
▶ engage in the practical art making process in an independent, individual and creative way
▶ develop a personal style and approach to exploring ideas, using a range of two and three-dimensional media
▶ investigate and use skills, techniques and processes
▶ respond to the world in which they live by considering, reflecting, analysing and communicating
▶ use the art process to interpret a set theme, develop ideas, research, explore subject matter, plan composition, use art elements and principles, trial materials, develop skills, techniques and use stylistic qualities

▶ progressively document all their thinking and working processes in a visual diary format
▶ present a folio of final artworks which will demonstrate their understanding of sculptural concepts studies.
The visual diary requires students to record all visual information and to make written annotated self-evaluations that support all art making processes undertaken.

Theoretical areas of study
In this subject students will:
▶ explore artists and their artworks from traditional and contemporary contexts
▶ interpret artworks using structured frameworks
▶ build on art language skills through the completion of set theory tasks.
