Year 10 

Visual Arts students have explored the notion of the human form as a source of inspiration in their artmaking. Students created a small unit of works where they selected aspects of the body to represent and then created a body of work. Students explored such themes as physical, mind, action and emotion using a range of mediums to create the works. All of the students engaged in and discussed their artmaking, talking about not only what was successful but identifying areas they needed to develop and how to develop those skills.

Year 11

Year 11 Visual Arts students have charged ahead with their practical work and critical and historical studies. The ideas they have explored have developed in sophistication and they are experimenting with ideas and techniques consistently. Learning about artists from the modern and postmodern perspective has been the topic of focus this term, with students engaging in discussion about their research and discovering new aspects of artmaking.
