select and manipulate visual conventions, visual arts processes and/or materials to create artworks that represent ideas, perspectives and/or meaning

Elaborations

  • • creating a series of Augmented Reality digital assets that represent distinct textures; for example, placing assets within a space to communicate concepts that explore blocking some areas and revealing others
  • • creating artworks and using their visual arts practice as a way of exploring their feelings and emotions, such as self-awareness, emotional awareness and personal wellbeing
  • • working independently and/or in groups to create artworks that tell stories or create awareness about issues that are significant and important to them/the group
  • • transforming an analog visual artwork into a series of digital versions using digital tools such as software, visual art processes and materials; evaluating and selecting the most successful transformation, and documenting the steps to create a procedural text using appropriate visual arts terminology
  • • considering sustainable design practices when generating ideas for designs in response to a brief; for example, exploring sustainable fabrics and recycled materials when creating wearable art
  • • applying their knowledge and understanding of visual arts processes, materials and techniques to create artworks; for example, demonstrating understanding of relief printing and the technical skills needed to create an edition of prints, or creating artworks using skills developed in exploring digital tools, such as photographic manipulation applications or digital drawing programs
  • • representing ideas in their artworks through considered use of visual conventions, such as using modulated and directional lines in a composition to create a sense of movement, or breaking a rhythmic pattern to create discord

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.
