Craighead Diocesan School
Year 11 Diploma - Art
Subject Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs G. Kirke.
Level 1 Art
"Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." Pablo Picasso
In the Visual Arts, we aim to generate, analyse and extend ideas based on the influence of established practice. Studying Visual Arts is a creative journey that each individual will experience in different ways. Through the exploration of a wide range of media, techniques and processes students will find their voice and identity as a young artist. Researching and investigating inspiration from a variety of contexts and ways of working will extend both practical skills and theoretical knowledge.
We endeavour to provide a course that both stimulates ideas and challenges students technically and conceptually.
