Curriculum Map

Purpose:

We open students’ minds to a broad, deep knowledge and understanding of art theory by teaching the art formal elements and analysing how these have been applied in practice through the work of a variety of artists and art movements. We enable students to apply the formal elements through extended practice, equipping them with skills in drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking and graphic design. We teach them how to review and refine their processes in order to create personal and meaningful outcomes.
