VCE Art Making and Exhibiting Unit 1 Area of Study 1 Teaching and Learning Ideas Teacher led exploration of a range of artforms Universal theme. For example, memory, family, the environment, belonging and acceptance, friendship, communication, mortality Looking at the history, characteristics and properties of materials Play Generating subject matter related to the theme Representing ideas related to the theme Learning about documenting the visual art journal Investigating artists and artworks that use a range practices. Experiences in a range of artforms for example drawing and printmaking or drawing and painting, drawing and ceramics, or drawing and photography. Investigation of three art forms What are the key technological stages in the evolution of the artform? Connect to artworks that will represent technological developments Analyse the work of other artists who use different processes and analyse their own art making. The same artists could be related to work completed in Outcome 3
VCE Art Making and Exhibiting Unit 1 Area of Study 1 Detailed learning example Art Form Research Project Select an art form to use as a guide to research and write an introduction about the art form. Answer the following questions: What is the art form? Why does it interest you? What is your experience with the art form? Collect 3 5 visual examples of the art form that represent its development from historical to contemporary times. Choose a further three examples of the art form from a specific period in time and analyse the use of materials and techniques Create a list of the correct terminology related to the art form and its associated materials, techniques and processes Choose two techniques used by artists in the art form and explore using those techniques Evaluate your experiments in your Visual Arts journal.
VCE Art Making and Exhibiting Unit 1 Area of Study 1 Assessment Visual Arts journal Examples such as: Research activities in specific artforms A range of experiments in specific art forms Documentation in the Visual Arts journal Students record and document art making in the Visual Arts journal using written and visual material. The Visual Arts journal includes: demonstration of the exploration of materials, techniques and processes, in a range of art forms demonstration of technical skill in using materials in a range of art forms documentation and evaluation of the exploration of materials, techniques and processes in a range of art forms.
VCE Art Making and Exhibiting Unit 1 Area of Study 1 Assessment Example Art Form Research In your Visual Arts Journal, research into a range of art forms. Investigate the history of the materials used within the art forms. Discuss and consider the following questions: o Where are the earliest examples of the art forms and across varying contexts? o How have the characteristics and or the properties changed within the contexts? Has the influence of technology altered the material? Produce a series of experiments using a selected artform and techniques in response to the research. Write an evaluation of how the experiment reflects a particular technique you have studied.
VCE Art Making and Exhibiting Unit 1 Area of Study 2: Expand make, present and reflect On completion of this unit the student should be able to make and present at least one finished artwork and document their art making in a Visual Arts journal. Outcome 2 How do artists use materials and techniques to represent ideas and achieve a style in their artworks? What art form will I focus upon? Which artists will I investigate? What materials, techniques and processes do they use? How will I develop my subject matter to represent ideas? How do I use visual language to represent ideas? How will I present my finished artwork? How will I document and evaluate my art making? Learning structure

VCE Art Making and Exhibiting Unit 1 Area of Study 2 Teaching and Learning Ideas At least one artwork that responds to the investigation of materials and experimentations in Area of Study 1. Artist's statement about art making (could be in the form of a didactic panel - 100 words) Reflection statement about art making experience (3 - 4 paragraphs that might consolidate gaps in their annotations or extract key moments of learning from the visual arts journal Recognise the difference between a reflection and an artist statement - excellent learning opportunities for the critique in units 3 and 4 At the end of Area of Study 2, students must submit at least one artwork, the reflection and artist s statement.
VCE Art Making and Exhibiting Unit 1 Area of Study 2 Detailed learning example Reflection Statement and Artist Statement In the Visual Arts Journal, write a reflective evaluation on the art making experience: An Artist Statement is a concise description of the context of the ideas and meanings of the artwork. It could be presented as a didactic panel. Write a short artists statement to accompany the presented artwork. This statement provides context and insight in relation to the final artwork and the approach taken to the set theme. Consider how the materials and techniques connect to the ideas and meaning? How is visual language representing individual ideas on the theme? A Reflection Statement needs to utilise critical thinking skills to evaluate the art making. Refer to the researched terminology from AOS1 to include into your evaluation of the making and presentation of the final artwork
VCE Art Making and Exhibiting Unit 1 Area of Study 2 Assessment On completion of the unit the student should be able to make and present at least one finished artwork and document their art making in a Visual Arts journal.
