The Arts Scope and SequenceYear 10 Syllabus
The syllabus is based on the requirement that in Years 9 and 10 the study of the Arts is optional.
Year Level Description
In Year 10, students use visual art language and artistic conventions, in both written and practical work. They further develop and refine their ideas and techniques to resolve artwork by documenting the design, production and evaluation processes of their artwork. Students will extend their knowledge of art practices, such as, adaptation, manipulation, deconstruction and reinvention techniques, and use their understanding of a variety of art styles in the making of their 2D, 3D and/or 4D artwork. Students extend their knowledge and practise of safe and sustainable visual arts practice. Resolved artwork is exhibited and appraised, with consideration to their own artistic intentions, personal expression, and audience.
Students develop greater understanding of how contexts of culture, time and place impact on the development of ideas and production of art forms in the artistic process. They continue to explore artistic influences, while being encouraged to express greater individualism in their application of ideas and materials.
Students are provided with opportunities to reflect on traditional and contemporary artwork using a breadth of critical analysis frameworks, incorporating visual art language, art terminology and conventions.
Teachers are required to address knowledge and skills in Visual Arts through two art forms and one art style below. Other art forms and art styles may be used in addition to teach knowledge and skills in Visual Arts.
Art forms:
2D (painting, printmaking, drawing, photo and digital media, graphics, textiles, collage)
3D (ceramics, sculpture, installations, textiles, jewellery)
4D (performance art, time-based video, digital animation)
Art styles:
Realism, Modernism (Dadaism, Surrealism, Futurism), contemporary Australian art; Postmodernism, international art.
Making
Inquiry
Ideas for own art-making which supports personal learning style and chosen discipline (e.g. brainstorm, mind map, annotations/sketches, photography, media testing) (ACAVAM128)
Visual art language (visual art elements and principles of design) used in the development of artwork (e.g. using implied texture and a range of tones to create form) (ACAVAM125)
Exploration, development and refinement of their personal style in conjunction with representations of other artists through documentation, drawings, recordings, film (ACAVAM125)
Ideas explored and refined, responding to the style of other artists in their own artwork (ACAVAM125)
Application of a range of visual art techniques to plan and influence the choice of materials and technologies (media testing/exploration) (ACAVAM126)
Art practice
Materials, techniques, technologies and processes manipulated to develop and represent their own artistic intentions (ACAVAM126)
Safe and sustainable practices; preparedness for hazardous situations and responsible actions while working with more complex materials in the production and display of artwork (ACAVAM127)
Processes and resolved artwork appraised; ways to improve art practice; reflection (ACAVAM127)
Techniques and processes chosen to refine and resolve artwork to a more complex level when representing ideas and subject matter (ACAVAM129)
Responding
Analysis
Critical analysis frameworks (STICI, Feldman, Taylor or Four Frames) used to analyse a wide variety of artwork from contemporary and past times (ACAVAR131)
Use of visual art language (visual art elements and principles of design), visual conventions and art terminology to respond to artwork (e.g. short answer and extended essay form, video or verbal format) (ACAVAR131)
Visual conventions used to refine complex compositional arrangement of artwork (e.g. use of the rule of thirds to create a balanced composition) (ACAVAR131)
Social, cultural and historical contexts
Artists from different cultural groups and their use of persuasive, communicative or expressive representation (ACAVAR130)
Viewpoints identified in a range of artwork from contemporary and past times (ACAVAR131)
Representations within a breadth of artwork (ACAVAR130)
Interpretation/response
Evaluation of their own artwork and the work of others, including consideration of different viewpoints (gender, age, religion, culture) and judgement of the significance of the artwork in a given context (ACAVAR130)
Achievement standard
At Standard, students prepare ideas that relate to a personal style and chosen studio discipline. They explore media, materials, techniques and technologies, documenting results to plan choices. Students apply elements and principles and visual art conventions, to suit a chosen art style and/or art form. They consider design alternatives and exhibit evidence of a personal style. Using visual art language, students describe artistic influence and provide reflective comments about decisions made in the creative process. They identify features of an art style and apply them to the exploration of ideas. Students maintain a plan in the development of an idea for a final design, produce a finished artwork and communicate their own artistic intention. Students use equipment and materials in a safe manner. They select techniques, materials and processes to represent an idea, subject or style. They make choices about presentation conventions and consider audience context. Students provide an artist statement about their own interpretation of an idea, theme and audience.
Students analyse art forms, from different times and places and provide responses about meaning, style and intent. They present personal opinions and judgements, and use visual art language to describe the artwork of others. Students comment on how visual conventions are used to enhance composition. They provide an interpretation about artwork from different cultures and discuss artists’ intent. Students make comparisons between artwork from different times and describe meaning, viewpoints, similarities and differences, supported by visual evidence. They judge the effectiveness and importance of artwork. Students provide a reflection of their own artwork and the artwork of others.
