YEAR 9 VISUAL ARTS

It is strongly recommended that students complete at least one semester of Visual Arts courses in Year 9 prior to entering a Year 10 Visual Arts Course.

VISUAL ARTS AND MEDIA ARTS COURSES

Studio Focus

Semester Course

Arts provide a powerful means of expression and communication of life experiences and imagination. Within this course, you will focus on 2-dimensional artworks with an element of 3-dimensional work built into your projects. A self driven course of personal development and research, you will engage in visual arts practice, involving the exploration and development of ideas and feelings through the use of a range of art techniques and processes.

Project Studio areas include but are not limited to; pastel work, watercolours and/or acrylic painting, silk screening, lino-printing, etching and mixed media works.

Sculpture Design

Semester Course

Do you enjoy a hands on approach to your creative work? Do you want to develop your creative skills when it comes to taking a 2-dimensional design and turning it into a 3-dimensional product? Then this course might just be for you! This course places value on difference, uniqueness and individuality, developing creative abilities and gaining a greater understanding of the artistic world around us.

Whilst Sculpture Design has a 3 - dimensional emphasis, drawing is a compulsory component of all successful art projects. You will further develop your understanding of the elements and principles of art and develop an understanding of how to make ‘good art’.

Sculpture Design projects could include materials such as ceramics (hand-building, casting), textiles, sculpture (soft sculpture, wood and plaster) constructions in metal, plastic, wood, cardboard and fabric.

Media

Semester Course

Are you a naturally visual creative? This new media course allows students to express their personality in a fun and hands-on atmosphere, learning skills in developing animations for screen. Students will complete two major animation projects, taking their production from conceptualisation and storyboarding all the way to a finished, ready-for-broadcast animation. Students will engage in a variety of animation styles, using the Adobe suite of products to create stop motion and computer generated animations.

Sound Production

Semester Course

Do you find yourself listening to music almost ALL the time? Can't get enough of your favourite podcast? This brand new media course will give students and introduction to recording and manipulating audio for digital broadcast. Year 9s will use sound as a means to express and respond to various issues in society. Students will familiarise themselves with the audio production process, using sound recording equipment, audio manipulation software and their own creativity to produce various audio projects.
