Visual ArtStudents will be actively involved in both making and appraising artworks, by researching and reacting to a variety of stimuli, developing solutions to art problems and resolving ideas in visual, written or spoken forms. Students are encouraged to experience Visual Art personally through a variety of contexts eg. social, cultural, environmental, and to use a variety of styles eg. representational, abstract, symbolic. A discovery approach to learning is utilised, which encourages self-discipline, independence and collaboration with peers to develop a personal aesthetic. A range of computer technologies is utilised to underpin concepts studied over the two-year course.
Year 11 is a foundation year, allowing for specialisation in more student-initiated activities for Year 12 where they exit having covered two areas of study.
