Visual Arts

Term 1 Unit 1 - Artifacts of the Everyday - Objects, Memory and Meaning

Our Goal this term is to:

Develop an understanding of how artists use their world as a source of inspiration for artworks. Develop knowledge and skills, informed by their understanding of practice, the Frames and Conceptual Framework to create new artworks. Students will have the opportunity to develop skills in creating a Body of Work utilising a range of expressive forms and artmaking techniques.

We will achieve this by:

• Exploring the conventions of practice in artmaking.

• Investigating how artists use a significant object to represent their ideas in a variety of ways. 

• Recognising what can be revealed about the artist, their world and audience through their artworks.

• Investigating ways of developing coherence and layers of meaning in their artmaking.

• Exploring a range of material techniques in ways that support artistic intention.
