Human Habitat

Beyond Tomorrow – Contemporary Art

In this unit students create a body of work dealing with a specific issue relating to mans impact on the environment. A number of minor pieces working with 2D Media possibly including Photoshop, drawing and painting will be created before applying the knowledge and skills you have acquired to create a major piece in the form of a ceramic bowl or platter. Students will demonstrate the consideration of a variety of options, by drawing up sketches for various planned approaches, as well as photographing minor pieces showing experimentation with a variety of construction and decoration techniques. You may choose to adopt a representational approach for your major piece, or you could exhibit more stylised features characteristic of design movements such as Art Deco and Art Nouveau, which will be studied as part of our art theory connected to this unit. Assessment In Year 10 Visual Arts students complete two summative assessments. Summative assessments Semester 1

This unit emphasises the importance of retrospection; of looking back on what has happened in the past, to assist in planning how to approach events in the future. When creating work this semester, students will be encouraged to reflect on the media areas, artists and designers they have studied to this point, as well as considering contemporary art practices. Students will look into the advent of Post Modernism, where artists began to revert back to using media which had previously been disregarded and to appropriating features of earlier artists work.
