ART IN THE JUNIOR YEARS

The Junior Years Visual Arts Program includes exploration of a variety of domains and the appreciation of historical and contemporary art and art practice. Our focus is on the ability to develop a creative concept from its commencement, to practise through to completion. The process of creating and responding are interconnected with all artistic endeavours. Students will develop and refine their creative aptitude through skill investigation, via explicit and sequential teaching across all domains. Exploration of techniques and ideas and persevering in problem-solving will underpin all practical endeavours. Our students are given opportunities to reflect, explore and collaborate their own artistic processes, challenges, and techniques with their peers
