Creative Arts - Visual

Contemporary Art Practice 2

Contemporary Art Practice 2 is specially designed for students who wish to work across multiple art forms. Each student must demonstrate completed examples of art produced from 3 different mediums. For example, Drawing, Ceramics, Printmaking, Sculpture, Painting, Digital/Photography and Mixed Media. This subject allows students to explore and experiment in a wide variety of materials and develop their design skills and enhance their creativity. Students will be expected to keep a visual journal of their idea generation and progress.

There is a written component to this subject where students research and reflect on ways to create art, however, it is specifically focussed on the student as a maker of art. A great choice for the student who just wants to explore a variety of different materials.

Visual Art 2

Visual Art has been developed for students seeking to engage with art practice in a particular studio area. In this subject students 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. Students also develop initial skills in the research, analysis and criticism of art.

At Hellyer students can select from the following studios: Photography (traditional black and white printing, digital printing, graphics, video and animation) or General Art (drawing painting ceramics, sculpture, collage, mixed media and print making).
