The Arts Scope and SequenceABLEWA Stage D
Year Stage Description
In Stage D, students explore visual arts. They learn about how to make visual representations of their ideas, experiences, observations and imagination.
Students become aware of how and begin to explore why artists, craftspeople and designers present their ideas through different visual representations, practices and processes. They learn how their ideas or subject matter can be developed. They enhance their perception skills by learning to notice visual detail as they examine and represent familiar and new objects and events in their lives. They explore how artworks are created and become familiar with using and applying visual conventions, such as line, shape, colour and texture.
As they make and respond to visual artworks, students explore meaning and interpretation, and styles through social and cultural contexts. They provide opinions about artworks expressing what they like in simple sentences. They experience the role of artist and audience and they respond to feedback in their visual arts making.
