VCE Art Making and Exhibiting is a studio-based subject where students explore how artworks are made, presented and exhibited. Students experiment with materials, techniques and processes while developing personal ideas, creative thinking and artistic style.
Students may work across a range of art forms, including drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture, photography, mixed media and digital art. They investigate historical and contemporary artists, explore visual language and progressively develop artworks through experimentation, research and refinement, documented in a Visual Arts Journal.
Students also explore galleries, exhibition spaces and curatorial practices while investigating how artworks are displayed, conserved and experienced by audiences.
Students explore materials, techniques and processes across a range of art forms while expanding their understanding of the characteristics, properties and application of different materials. They investigate historical and contemporary artists and explore how artists develop ideas and ways of working to inform their own art making.
Students investigate how artists use aesthetic qualities and visual language to communicate ideas in artworks. They respond to a set theme and progressively develop their ideas through materials, techniques, processes, art elements and art principles while documenting experimentation and refinement in a Visual Arts Journal. Students also explore exhibition design, galleries and curatorial practices.
This subject is excellent for developing a folio of personal artworks to present to future tertiary selection panels.
