Making

Inquiry

Ideas and design development for art-making (e.g. brainstorm, mind map, annotations/sketches, media testing) (ACAVAM120)

Application of techniques and processes suited to 2D and/or 3D artwork (e.g. blind contour drawing, rolling a slab) (ACAVAM121)

Visual art language (visual art elements and principles of design) used in the development of artwork (e.g. using line to create implied textural qualities in a drawing) (ACAVAM118)

Development of understanding of visual art conventions including visual inquiry (e.g. observational tonal drawing, developing a storyboard for an illustration) (ACAVAM118)

Art-making intentions identified through annotations or conversations (e.g. keeping a written or digital journal; series of process photographs, portfolio, sketchbook; or aural presentations on artworks/art styles) (ACAVAM120)

Art practice

Processes to develop and produce artwork (ACAVAM121)

Safe work practices (e.g. wipe desks down with damp cloth after ceramics to remove any traces of dry ceramic dust) (ACAVAM121)

Processes and finished artwork appraised; ways to improve art practice; reflection (ACAVAM122)

Presentation

Display options of finished artwork (decisions as to how and where it might be presented) to enhance audience interpretation  (ACAVAM122)

Identification of skills and processes required for an artwork to be considered for display and recognition of the importance of presentation conventions (e.g. framing/mounting) (ACAVAM122)
