Year 9 Visual Arts. Choose your own ARTventure!
This week, 13 students of Y9 Visual Arts class exhibited their artworks from the recently completed unit, showcasing their diverse explorations of a selected choice across three distinct units. From the awe-inspiring observations of nature to the mind-bending distortions of space and time, to the thought-provoking exposures of 21st century issues – these young artists have poured their time and effort into their creative journeys. In the “Art Inspired by Nature” unit, students immersed themselves in the beauty of the natural world, translating their observations into striking visual expressions. “Shifting Perceptions” challenged them to experiment with abstraction, blending and warping elements of space and time to create captivating, unconventional artworks. And in “Art and the World,” they tackled global issues, using their creative voices to shine a light on the pressing concerns of our modern era. Regardless of their chosen path, each student followed a rigorous four-stage process – investigating, developing, creating, and evaluating – to hone their artistic skills and techniques. The result is a vibrant, thought-provoking exhibition that showcases the boundless creativity and vision of our year 9 art students.
Year 7 Design. Thinking with Our Hands
65% of young learners entering elementary school today will have jobs that don’t exist yet. To help better prepare these young learners this unit focuses on creativity, innovation, and imagination, encouraging students to develop a better understanding of materials and how adaptation to change can lead to invention. Hands-on creative experience is effective when it comes to remembering what is being taught, enabling deeper thought in what might be possible, involving both physiological (using hands) and psychological (creative cognition) processes. Students were asked to focus on the school community, redesigning a chair used within the classroom. Initially carrying out research of what chairs are currently available with critical analysis, followed by developing ideas through one-minute sketches and learning different technical drawing styles and layouts. Students were then asked to create a scale model of their designs, considering the material used and its weight bearing qualities, whilst progressively assessing pros and cons that contribute towards the final evaluation and feasible improvements, based on research and development.
