Visual Arts

Visual Arts is committed to providing a program to develop skills which enable expression and communication through experience, response and interpretation of visual forms.

Visual Arts aims to provide programs which encourage students:

  • to develop the intellectual and expressive potential of the student through aural, spatial, kinaesthetic, interpersonal and visual experiences
  • to explore how different social and cultural groups engage in and convey meaning through their art
  • to develop skills and techniques through exploration and development of ideas using a broad range of materials and media
  • to gain confidence in art criticism and aesthetics through describing, analysing, interpreting and evaluating their own and other art works
