Visual Arts

Throughout this unit students will be engaged in both making and responding to art forms. They will discuss reasons why artists make particular artworks and why different interpretations are possible, recognising similarities and differences in how subject matter is represented. Students will investigate selected techniques and styles to create their own artworks for a variety of different purposes and artwork displays to capture ideas and perspectives. The students will create artworks ‘all about me’ and ‘magazine silhouette’.

This unit provides a sequence of learning opportunities based around a project. It uses this repertoire as a vehicle for developing students’ ability to create and structure their own Chinese composition through a series of whole-group activities that lead to a small group and individual work. Musical concepts students will learn are duration, pitch, dynamics, tone colour and structure.
