Content Descriptor

generate, document and develop ideas for artworks

Elaborations

  • • engaging in visual brainstorming by selecting, organising and combining appropriate images, forms, visual art processes and materials to represent ideas about a particular subject; for example, annotating the process with short statements using correct terminology and using Viewpoints to develop questions to explore issues and concepts that arise from the combination of elements; for example, "What combinations are surprising, and where can this lead me?", "What would happen if I …?", "How can I push these ideas further?"
  • • documenting their visual arts practice when developing ideas and processes, including studio practice, such as correct use of materials and tools, creative thinking and reflection as they experiment and develop skills in using materials and techniques, finding ways to communicate their thinking visually and develop their use of visual arts language
  • • developing a series of compositional sketches as planning for a final artwork that communicates how the visual conventions and planned processes will communicate meaning; making decisions about the final artwork and justifying their choices
  • • exploring and researching ideas about their interests in the world/subject matter or concepts from a particular perspective or a range of perspectives in order to plan and refine their approaches to representing their ideas
  • • recording and documenting their research into a subject or theme using their own images or images from other sources, written annotations and comments, or evaluations
  • • exploring ways that artists, designers, architects or craftspeople communicate ideas and meaning in their work, using written discussions, annotated images, debates or digital presentations

Achievement Standard This Supports

This Content Descriptor contributes to the following Achievement Standard:

Year 7 ASARTVISY78
Year 7 The Arts Achievement Standard
By the end of Year 8, students analyse how visual conventions, visual arts processes and materials are manipulated in artworks they create and/or experience. They evaluate the ways that visual artists across cultures, times, places and/or other contexts communicate ideas, perspectives and/or meaning through their visual arts practice. They describe respectful approaches to creating and/or responding to artworks. Students generate, document and develop ideas for artworks. They reflect on their visual arts practice. They select and manipulate visual conventions, visual arts processes and/or materials to create artworks that represent ideas, perspectives and/or meaning. They curate and present exhibits and/or displays of their own and/or others’ artworks and/or visual arts practice for audiences.
