Year 10 Visual Arts

Year 10 Visual Arts encompasses drawing and mark making coupled with digital and/or 3D exploration with a view to create finished artworks that convey meaning and that allow for technical and skill development. Students respond to visual artworks by Australian and international artists for inspiration and to develop their understanding of artistic practice. A visual diary is used to record ideas and is evidence of a design process.

Through learning in Visual Arts, students consider how cultures and societies, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and histories, shape visual arts practice and how artists and viewers contribute to a creative society. They consider how historical forces and critical commentators shape the contribution of artistic ideas to society and culture. Students learn how formative contexts such as personal experience, family, education systems, values, beliefs, culture, class and society shapes the visual arts practices of both artists and viewers.
