Students create a visual portfolio by following a creative and problem-solving process. This process is logically sequenced and showcases their research and analysis of artist's work supporting the evolution of their unique visual style.

Students study from the areas of 2-dimensional work (drawing, painting and printmaking) and 3-dimensional work (ceramics).

They research, analyse, explore and experiment with media and technique, and resolve and produce practical work. They use visual thinking and investigation to develop ideas and concepts, refine technical skills, and produce imaginative solutions.

Students learn to communicate personal ideas, beliefs, values, thoughts, feelings, concepts and opinions, and provide observations of their lived or imagined experiences in visual form.
