What will I learn?

You may follow an Art or Design strand.You will have opportunities to explore the vast field of visual art and design forms that exist across diverse cultural and historical platforms including looking at contemporary art and design.

Creativity and artistic expression are central to the learning in art and design. You will be immersed in learning experiences that involve researching the work of artists and designers, developing personal ideas, and experimenting with practical methods and techniques in the production and evaluation of individual artworks and products.

  • Design: Product design: e.g. toy, fashion, furniture. Graphic and visual communication design: e.g. branding, illustration, and advertising.

How will I be assessed?

  • Folio – ideas and experimentation.
  • Practical and Practitioners Statement – major work using ideas in the folio.
  • Visual Study – based on an Australian artist or designer (practical and some written).
