Visual Art Year 11 Course Outline_2024
Course content
The course content is the focus of the learning program.
Art making
Inquiry
Investigation, development, planning, documentation and refinement of artwork describe the inquiry process. The development of ideas includes a range of
investigative approaches including direct observation, exploration and expressive drawing. Researching and selecting information and inspiration provides a
basis for portraying ideas, thoughts and feelings. Resource and time management are central to the creation of artworks and the development of ideas.
Visual language
Visual language involves using the elements and principles of art, signs, symbols, codes and conventions to arrive at visual solutions to communicate ideas. The
use of visual language helps shape the creation and evaluation of artworks.
Visual influence
Viewing and exploring others’ artworks and visual sources provides the challenge of considering a range of approaches to adopt, extend or reject in one’s own
work. Viewing and appraising others’ artwork informs and influences the inquiry process.
Presentation
Display of artworks provides opportunities to participate, promote and critique own and others’ artworks. Presentation therefore involves arranging, organising
and displaying ideas and artworks for audiences.
Reflection
Reflection involves revisiting and reconsidering options and alternatives when developing ideas and artworks. Describing, analysing and critically evaluating
thinking and working processes enhances one’s own artistic practice.
Art Interpretation
Visual analysis
Visual analysis promotes critical thinking through strategies of formal analysis and the use of critical analysis frameworks. Analysis involves comparing,
commenting on and making informed judgements about artworks which are representative of a range of art forms from various times and places. Visual analysis
takes into account formal concerns as well as contextual factors relating to time, place, race, culture, gender identity, religion and politics in order to make
informed judgements about how meanings are communicated.
Personal response
Personal response involves sharing, discussing and justifying opinions about artworks, both first-hand and in reproductions. The field of visual arts is subject to
different interpretations and informed responses should take into account varying contexts from which a work is created and experienced. Responding to
artworks can stimulate insights, encourage deeper understandings, challenge preconceived ideas and involve making connections between oneself and others.

o acknowledge primary and/or secondary visual influence(s)
Personal response
o support and justify opinions by offering a range of interpretations of artwork

Study Skills :
• Mind mapping (R)
• Goal setting (R)
• Time management (R)
• Key words- Visual Arts Language (R)
• Note-taking (R)
• Active reading (R)
• Exam strategies- essay writing (R)
• Study environment (R)
• Critical Reflections (T/ R)
Students explore ways of collecting, compiling and recording information and documenting thinking and working practices. They
explore approaches to drawing and develop awareness that each artist has his or her particular way of making marks to convey
personal vision. Students examine how visual language and media choices contribute to the process of conveying function and
meaning, and use a range of media and technologies to explore, create, and communicate ideas.
Students recognise that visual artwork is subject to different interpretations and appreciate that informed responses should take
into account the varying contexts within which a work of art is created. They develop awareness of styles of representation,
examining distinctly individualistic approaches of artists in different times and places.
Suggested contexts:
o concepts: reality and illusion, actions and reactions, cultural and/or stylistic differences, tradition and innovation,
stereotypes
o styles and approaches: Romanticism, Australian figurative versus abstract, styles of representation (descriptive,
interpretive, expressive, abstract); realism and abstraction
o materials: textile fibre, oil paint, digital media, inter-media investigations
o messages and meanings: heroes and antiheroes, cultural perspectives, exploration of universal issues such as human
rights
o purposes: celebration and ritual, representation of an issue.
Unit 2 – Identities
Unit description
The focus for this unit is identities. In working with this focus, students explore concepts or issues related to personal, social,
cultural or gender identity. They become aware that self-expression distinguishes individuals as well as cultures. Students use a
variety of stimulus materials and use a range of investigative approaches as starting points to create artwork. They develop a
personal approach to the development of ideas and concepts, making informed choices about the materials, skills, techniques
and processes used to resolve and present their artwork.
Students develop understandings of the personal and/or public functions of art in the expression of identity, for example,
spiritual expression, psychological expression, therapy, ceremony and ritual, and the purposes of art, such as narrative – telling
personal stories or exploring myths. They understand that art may give form to ideas and issues that concern the wider
community.
Response to artwork stimulates insights, encourages deeper understandings, and challenges preconceived ideas.
Students develop an awareness of how the visual arts may be both socially confirming and questioning, analyse their own
cultural beliefs and values and develop deeper understandings of their own personal visual arts heritage.
Suggested contexts:
• concepts: spiritual identity, representation and myth, the art and science nexus, human emotion, cultural identity,
heroes and rebels, tribal art
• styles and approaches: land art, hybrid arts, art of sub-cultures, human form
• materials: multimedia, oil paint
• meanings and messages: gender, politics, the environment, feminism, stolen generation
• purposes: social/personal expression, place and identity, self-image, community, youth arts, portraiture, costume and
fashion.

The world through my eyes
Year 11 Unit 1 & 2 – Differences and Identities
Personal Perspective
adjective noun

person; individual; private: a personal distance;
opinion. o the state of one's ideas, the facts known to
➢ relating to, directed to, or intended for a one, etc., in having a meaningful

➢ making personal remarks or opinions o the faculty of seeing all the relevant
➢ pertaining to or characteristic of a person or information in a meaningful relationship:
self-conscious being: That is my personal o a mental view or prospect
belief.
You will be developing and creating a body of work based on the theme ‘Personal Perspectives’. Your ideas and
concepts for your artwork and processes are to be negotiated with the teacher and confirmed. All planning visual and
written such as, brainstorming, drawings, images and relating artists need to be documented in your Folio throughout
the semester and will be assessed. You are to produce a resolved artwork/s that relates to your body of work and
expresses your theme. You will then be required to write an Artist Statement, which explains your concept and artistic
influences in the project.
The theme ‘Personal Perspectives: The world through my eyes’ is for the entire year. You will create two
artworks, one artwork per semester. They are to relate to one another, they comment on the same theme
and are considered together, as body of work. You may consider:
• Series
• Diptych
• Same medium or different mediums for both pieces
• Varying sizes
• Extension piece
The medium and size for the artworks are your choice, keeping in mind however, the cost of materials (the
school can pay for some things, but not everything) and the weight and size restrictions of practical
submission (for more information go to WACE Visual Arts: https://senior-
secondary.scsa.wa.edu.au/syllabus-and-support-materials/arts/visual-arts
You must discuss your ideas with your teacher before beginning your artwork.
Overview
The class will participate in a series of image analysis which compare and contrast artwork. There will also
be a focus on Frida Kahlo in Semester 1 for the Investigation component and an Australian Indigenous artist
in Semester 2. The focus of Unit 1 & 2 theory is to prepare for the year 12 WACE exams.
