The Arts Scope and SequenceYear 1 Syllabus
The syllabus is based on the requirement that all students will study at least two of the five Arts subjects from Pre-primary to Year 8. It is a requirement that students study a performance subject and a visual subject.
Year Level Description
In Year 1, learning in Visual Arts builds on the dispositions developed in the early years.
Students explore specific ideas as an inspiration to create original artwork. They continue to explore materials and are introduced to the visual element of space, while continuing to develop skills in shape, colour, line and texture. Students experiment with a variety of media, materials and techniques when creating artwork.
Students present artwork that communicate ideas to specific audiences.
As they make and respond to artwork, students express feelings and ideas about artwork they view and make.
