Goal

When completing this short unit of work, students will learn from a range of former students who have successfully completed their body of work. They will:

• take a virtual tour of ARTEXPRESS 2020 at the Art Gallery of NSW

• investigate the role of the curator in creating the ARTEXPRESS exhibition

• identify and understand the qualities of successful HSC bodies of work

• apply their understanding of the artworld relationships (to the artist, the artwork, the world and the audience) in developing their interpretations of artmaking practice - both their own work and that of others

• build on their knowledge of Visual arts specific language and will reflect on their body of work progress.

How?

• This resource can be used to support the development of new knowledge and skills in Stage 6 Visual Arts students. Using student sample work as exemplars is a recognised means of raising student expectations and establishing explicit quality criteria.

• Teachers can set standalone activities from this resource, or work through the entire set of activities.

• As students progress through the online content in this presentation, teachers can interact with students and provide feedback using a shared online platform, such as Google classroom, or in face-to-face lessons.

• Teachers can set more specific timelines for student work and can add resources and/or feedback to support the tasks and to differentiate learning.
