Studio Art
Units 1-4
VCE Studio Arts course of study introduces students to the role and practices of artists in society and encourages and supports students to realise their full potential as an aspiring artist. The course of study provides students with opportunities for personal development and growth and to expand curiosity, imagination, creativity, and enjoyment of the Visual Arts so that we can contribute to local and global community through lifelong learning.
The course of study provides each student with the opportunity to make independent choices and decisions, to express personalised views and opinions and to experience the process of making of artworks in a variety of art forms.
You could choose to: paint, draw, print, mixed media, photography, film, digital art, ceramics, sculpture, collage, fashion, illustration, textiles, architecture, jewellery.
Students build upon the foundational skills learnt in the year 9/10 Visual Art Elective and begin to develop a deeper understanding of the creative process. We learn to find inspiration, to generate ideas, to develop a studio practise and improve our skills, so that we can, make, present and exhibit artworks.
Student research focuses on the analysis of artworks. We investigate how artists from differing times and places have interpreted sources of inspiration and influences so that we can improve our own. An essential component of the course of study is to visit a variety of art galleries, this is integral to the student’s artistic and creative development. Engagement with artworks in art galleries, facilitates creative thinking and the development of new ideas.
The Studio Art course of study is made up of four units.
Year 11
Unit 1: Studio inspiration and techniques.
Unit 2: Studio exploration and concepts.
Year 12
Unit 3: Studio practices and processes.
Unit 4: Studio practice and art industry contexts.
Aims: The course of study enables students to:
• Express themselves creatively through art making to understand how to support and sustain their art practice.
• Develop an individual studio process, to practise and refine specialised skills appropriate to particular art forms and media selected for art making.
• Analyse and find inspiration from the ways in which artists apply studio processes in the production of their own artworks.
• Develop an understanding of historical and cultural contexts in the production and analysis of artworks.
• Develop and apply skills in visual analysis, including the use of appropriate terminology in relation to their own artwork and artists studied.
• Extend their understanding of the roles and methods involved in the presentation of artworks in a range of gallery and exhibition spaces.
• Develop an understanding of professional art practices related to the exhibition of artworks to an audience, including the roles and methods involved in the presentation of artworks in a range of gallery and exhibition spaces.

Music Performance
Unit 1&2
Music Performance involves synthesis of knowledge of the music work/s being performed including their structure, style and context and their expressive qualities. Performance also requires the use of an instrument or voice in instrumental lessons to interpret and realise the work, knowledge and understanding of how to use an instrument/s to produce and manipulate sound. Performers use musicianship skills along with instrumental techniques to present musically engaging performances.
YEAR 11 - Unit 1: Music Performance
This unit focuses on building students’ performance and musicianship skills to present performances of selected group and solo music works using one or more instruments. They study the work of other performers and explore strategies to optimise their own approach to performance. They identify technical, expressive and stylistic challenges relevant to works they are preparing for performance and
endeavour to address these challenges. Students develop their listening, aural, theoretical and analytical musicianship skills and apply this knowledge when preparing and presenting performances.
YEAR 11 - Unit 2: Music Performance
This unit focuses on building performance and musicianship skills. Students present performances of selected group and solo music works using one or more instruments and take opportunities to perform in familiar and unfamiliar venues and spaces. They study the work of other performers and refine selected strategies to optimise their own approach to performance. They identify technical, expressive and stylistic challenges relevant to works they are preparing for performance and endeavour to address these challenges. Students develop their listening, aural, theoretical and analytical musicianship skills and apply this knowledge when preparing and presenting performances.
