VGC
It provides a stimulating resource for students in Years 9 and 10, with a broad range of Australian and international artists, and a balance of traditional and contemporary examples.
Artists' studies are organised in four sections: The Frames, Conceptual Framework, Contemporary Artists' Practice and Historical Art Periods/Styles. Features and content in each artists' study are designed to:
consolidate students' understanding of the frames
further develop students' understanding of the Conceptual Framework and the relationships that are most relevant in the artworld
provide insights into artmaking practice through artists' statements and descriptions of techniques, media and ideas
develop skills in interpreting and writing about art, with descriptions of artworks and introductions to artists (Critical study and Historical study), extracts of thought-provoking art critical and art historical writing (Critical practice and Historical practice), and a range of student activities (eg, Studying art, Artmaking).
