HSC Course

Visual Arts involves students in artmaking, art criticism and art history. Students develop their own artworks, culminating in a 'body of work' in the HSC course. Students critically and historically investigate artworks, critics, historians and artists from Australia as well as those from other cultures, traditions and times.

HSC Course learning opportunities focus on:

how students may develop their practice in artmaking, art criticism, and art history
how students may develop their own informed points of view in increasingly independent ways and use different interpretive frameworks in their investigations
how students may learn about the relationships between artists, artworks, the world and audiences within the artworld and apply these to their own investigations
how students may further develop meaning and focus in their work.

Particular Course Requirements

HSC Course:

development of a body of work and use of a process diary
a minimum of five Case Studies (4–10 hours each)
deeper and more complex investigations in art making, art criticism and art history.
