In the study of VCE Art Creative Practice, research and investigation inform art making. Through the study of artworks, the practices of artists and their role in society, students develop their individual art practice and communicate ideas and meaning using a range of materials, techniques and processes.

In the practice of Making and Responding, students develop their skills in critical and creative thinking, innovation, problem-solving and risk-taking. By combining a focused study of artworks, art practice and practical art making, students recognise the interplay between research, art practice and the analysis and interpretation of art works.

This study provides students with an informed context to support an awareness of art as a tool for cultural, social and personal communication, and the stimulus and inspiration to develop their art practice.

Note: User pay materials will be used to enhance the curriculum at a cost of approximately $50* for each semester. An event will be created with the cost, once the subject selection has been completed and parents will receive a notification on COMPASS to complete payment. *This amount may change by 10-15% each Semester as it is dependent on price rises by external suppliers.
