Art Creative Practice

Year 10

This unit will undertake to illustrate ways that artists develop ideas for artworks and give students a foundation for expanding their own art practice. Students will explore how artworks can be developed from a number of starting points. They will examine the artworks of selected artists and then undertake their own artworks in a range of media.

VCE

In the study of VCE Art Creative Practice, research and investigation inform art making. Through the study of artworks, the practices of artists and their role in society, students develop their individual art practice, and communicate ideas and meaning using a range of materials, techniques and processes.

In the practice of Making and Responding, students develop their skills in critical and creative thinking, innovation, problem-solving and risk-taking. By combining a focused study of artworks, art practice and practical art making, students recognise the interplay between research, art practice and the analysis and interpretation of art works.

This study provides students with an informed context to support an awareness of art as a tool for cultural, social and personal communication, and the stimulus and inspiration to develop their art practice.
