What is it and why should I do it?
Art Creative Practice is a subject that guides you in the development of a personally significant year long annotated folio that results in the production of completed artworks that reflect your thinking and skill development in both Units 3&4. In Unit 3, ideas and inspirations are explored that will then continue to evolve and develop into a fully resolved and finished body of work. This curriculum encourages personal thinking and investigation into technical applications that best express your ideas. Each week 3 periods are devoted to your folio and art making.driven by the creative art-making process that evolves through self-directed student research that leads into experimentation with materials and processes that is enhanced and built upon with self-reflection. Sharing & presenting your ideas & creative work is also integral to your learning. You will be required to create finished artworks in both units 3&4. Unit 3 is designed to encourage inquiry and discovery whilst Unit 4 emphasises creation of a resolved Body Of Work.
We will have a weekly discussion & note-taking class in Unit 4 that will lead into a SAC assessment that prepares you for your end of year externally assessed exam.

What will I do in class?
In Art we devote 3-4 periods a week to our Creative Practice. You will be required to create finished artwork/s in both units 3&4 and you will also be documenting and evaluating the development of your artistic process. During unit 4, we will have a weekly discussion session & note-taking class that will form the content of our unit 4 written SAC that examines art of the past and the present to highlight changes & shifts in culture.One period in the week is focussed on discussion sessions, these note-taking classes lead up to the completion of your final written assessment for the unit. Unit 3 discussions cover the comparison of art from the past to art of the present, highlighting cultural shifts as well as noted changes in approaches to art making. The unit 4 analysis task covers responses to the art of a key contemporary artist. Our analysis work is based on perspectives on the art as discussed in a range of reviews, interviews, online journals and articles.

All Unit 3 and 4 subjects require 3-5 hours of study per week.
Towards the end of each unit 4, students will be required to complete their analytical essays for homework prior to sitting the SAC.
