    Description

    Students explore designing and creating 3 dimensional forms from a range of sculptural material, including clay. They consolidate and build upon skills and knowledge acquired in earlier years. Students will be encouraged to develop a personal style of creative expression through following a design process in a visual diary through exploring ideas and subject matter. This will result in individual or collaborative sculpture pieces in a range of various media. Students will prepare for the presentation of their final artworks for an exhibition.This will be supported by the study of artist’s practices and art- works from various times and cultures.

    This elective can provide a pathway to further Art studies in VCE Studio Arts.
