Visual Art 2

Visual Art has been developed for learners seeking to engage with art practice in a particular studio area. In this subject learners develop a body of work in a single art studio, developing their technical skills and aesthetic understanding. Methods and processes specific to their studio of choice are introduced and explored. Learners also develop initial skills in the research, analysis and criticism of art. At Hellyer, students can select from the following studios: Digital media (graphics, video and animation) Photography (Traditional black and white printing, digital printing) or General Art (Drawing painting ceramics and sculpture).

Art Production 3

This course is designed for learners wishing to extend practical work together with analysis and criticism of art. Learners will be familiar with current trends in art and will see their own work in relation to the local, national and global cultural context. Art-making techniques will be developed to advanced levels in order to facilitate the expression of ideas. At Hellyer, students can select from the following studios: Digital media (graphics, video and animation) Photography (Traditional black and white printing, digital printing) or General Art (Drawing, painting ceramics and sculpture).

Art Studio Practice 3

This is a year 12 course with the completion of Art Production as a pre-requisite. The course consists of two compulsory areas of learning: Conceptual Knowledge and Practice. Students are required to prepare a research paper, visual schematic overview, artist's statement and present an exhibition. You can specialise in Digital Media, Photography and General Art.

Art Theory and Criticism 3

Art Theory and Criticism is designed to teach learners to write and speak/sign about the content, form and contexts of visual art, architecture and design. Learners are engaged in understanding political, social and cultural perspectives which have shaped individuals and movements. They identify and analyse art, design and architectural practices and works across a spectrum that includes historical, political, social and contemporary contexts and, through research and inquiry, develop analytical and critical thinking skills.
