VCE – Art Making and Exhibiting
WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?
VCE Art Making and Exhibiting introduces students to the methods used to make artworks and how artworks are presented and exhibited. Students use inquiry learning to explore, develop and refine the use of art materials, how we use the art materials (techniques) and processes to develop their knowledge and understanding of the ways artworks are made. This subject provides students with opportunities to recognise their individual potential as artists, encourages self-expression and creativity, and can build confidence and a sense of individual identity. Students will visit and view exhibitions and displays of artwork in different galleries, museums, other exhibition spaces and site-specific spaces, either in person or using online content. This will provide an opportunity to view and research artworks and artists from local, national and international contexts. Students gain an understanding of how their own and others’ artworks are curated, disp layed and conserved.
