This unit provides students with grounding in, and extending from, the elements, principles, practice, and materials of two-dimensional representation in the visual arts. The unit explores concepts related to the fabrication of art, such as composition and space, dimension, volume, and so on and is structured around thematic projects. These projects will involve students in a range of experimental and organisational processes through working with a range of materials, methods, tools and processes while gaining experience of safe art-making in a complex workshop /studio environment. Students develop understanding of, and skills in, the elements of visual art and how they work expressively. Students will also develop critical and analytical thinking, while enriching their visual arts terminology. The learning process encourages and supports visits to art galleries/artists¿ studios, public, private and alternative exhibition spaces. Through experimentation with media, tools, and processes students will develop understanding of the workings and issues of visual expression in order to develop individual creative, interpretative, and problem-solving approaches.
