Art Creative Practice Study specifications: The Creative Practice research and investigation experimentation and development refinement and resolution reflection and evaluation. Inquiry learning Experiential learning Project based learning
Art Creative Practice Study specifications: Interpretive Lenses Through Making and Responding The Structural Lens informs the analysis and interpretation of an artwork, and its relationship with the artist and viewer or audience, through the investigation of the use of art elements and art principles, and the application of materials, techniques and processes. It also considers the stylistic qualities and symbolism evident in the artwork, and the context in which artists work and in which artworks are presented or viewed. Structural Lens The Personal Lens informs the analysis and interpretation of an artwork through the investigation of the personal feelings, beliefs and life experiences of the artist, viewer or audience. Personal Lens The Cultural Lens informs the analysis and interpretation of an artwork through the investigation of social, historical and cultural influences and representations. Cultural Lens

Art Creative Practice Unit 4: Interpreting, resolving and presenting artworks and the Creative Practice Project based and inquiry learning Refinement and resolution of a Body of Work Use of Creative Practice and Interpretive Lenses Research the practices of historical and contemporary artists to inform the student s art practice. Area of Study Content summary Assessment On completion of this unit the student should be able to document their use of Creative Practice and present a critique to inform the refinement and resolution of a Body of Work. School-assessed Task Area of Study 1 Documentation and critique of the Creative Practice On completion of this unit the student should be able to use the Creative Practice to resolve and present a Body of Work. Area of Study 2 Resolution and presentation of a Body of Work On completion of this unit the student should be able to compare the practices of historical and contemporary artists, and use the Interpretive Lenses to analyse and interpret the meanings and messages of selected artworks. School-assessed Coursework Area of Study 3 Comparison of artists, their practice and their artworks
Art Creative Practice Unit 4 Big Planning Ideas Inspired by the practices of artists and their role in society, students develop their individual art practice, and communicate ideas and meaning using their preferred materials, techniques and processes. This course is tailored to student choice, and students are free to choose any material or art form that they have access to.
Art Creative Practice Unit 4 Big Planning Ideas Students will continue to experiment with the art form they selected in Unit 3 Outcome 2 as they continue to develop and refine their idea and their skill. They are not, however limited to this material or artform and are able to continue to explore a range of materials in any artform. Teachers are encouraged to provide the students with the opportunity to visit a range of exhibition spaces to view diverse art and different contexts and ways of presenting artworks as inspiration for their own artworks.
Art Creative Practice Unit 4 Big Planning Ideas Area of Study 1 and 2 are taught concurrently and assessed together at the end of Unit 4. Critique At the commencement of Unit 4, students should conduct a critique in which they present the work that they completed in Unit 3 Outcome 2. In response to the feedback from this critique they should refocus their Body of Work. They use their preferred method to reflect on decisions and directions. This can include annotated sketches, photographs and trials as they document their use of the Creative Practice.
Art Creative Practice Unit 4 Critique As the critique in Unit 4 is the presentation of the Body of Work for final feedback and resolution, students should review their documentation to assist them in structuring their critique. Students focus on the further refinement of their: personal visual responses and how they are communicating Ideas and meanings materials, techniques and processes in selected art forms visual language the use of the Interpretive Lenses
Art Creative Practice Unit 4 Responding to the Feedback Students should reflect on the Body of Work from Unit 3 and consider what they need to refine and resolve their Body of Work. What ideas have emerged? What techniques and processes have been employed successfully and what do I need to develop and refine further? What trials or responses have not been extended. What requires improvement? How can I better achieve my intention? Are there ways of expanding on my ideas or is a change in direction required?
Art Creative Practice Unit 4 Area of Study 1: Documentation and critique of the Creative Practice On completion of this unit the student should be able to document their use of Creative Practice and present a critique to inform the refinement and resolution of a Body of Work. Outcome 1 Unit 4 Area of Study 1 and 2 are linked and students should consider the direction, resolution and refinement of their Body of Work using components of the Creative Practice to scaffold their inquiry. Learning structure ideas The Interpretive Lenses can be used to direct their inquiry and to research additional artists and artworks that will inform their practice. Students must consider the inclusion of additional artworks and artists, and how these will expand their ideas, their practice, and refine and resolve their Body of work. The students may use the questions from the Interpretive Lenses to evaluate their progress. The Interpretive Lenses can also structure the critique. Area of Study 1 is the opportunity for students to revisit their documentation and evaluation of their practice and how they are communicating ideas using visual language. They can consider how they will structure the documentation and evaluation leading up to the presentation of their Body of Work. A series of questions based on the Interpretive Lenses and components of the Creative Practice will assist them to document their practice
Art Creative Practice Unit 4 Area of Study 1: Documentation and critique of the Creative Practice On completion of this unit the student should be able to document their use of Creative Practice and present a critique to inform the refinement and resolution of a Body of Work. Outcome 1 The critique is an integral component of Area of Study 1 and students will need to prepare their critique, so they have the opportunity to further refine and resolve their Body of Work. Learning structure As part of the process of refinement and resolution, students need to consider how they will respond to the feedback they receive from their critique and how it will assist in communicating their ideas leading up to the presentation of their Body of Work. Students should consider how they will demonstrate their responses to the feedback from the critique and the further refinements they make to their Body of Work. Throughout Unit 4 students must demonstrate critical and reflective annotations in their work. Components of the Creative Practice and the questions from the Interpretive Lenses can be used to structure questions that will assist the students with to critically analyse their practice and artworks as well as the practices and artworks of others.

Are they using critical annotation supported by the Interpretive Lenses to resolve their intention Is the student documenting the refinement of their artworks? Is the student documenting the refinement of their visual language and technical skill? Is the student documenting and evaluating their trials regarding the presentation and display of artworks?
Art Creative Practice Unit 4 Area of Study 1 Teaching and Learning Ideas Encourage students to document their use of materials and the development and refinement of techniques, processes and ideas in written and visual form. Students must use art terminology to evaluate the degree to which they feel they are succeeding in conveying their idea. They should explain what their intention is and evaluate how successful their use of the elements and principles of art, symbolism, materials, techniques, processes and art forms is in achieving this.
Art Creative Practice Unit 4 Area of Study 1 Teaching and Learning Ideas There is no prescribed method the students need to follow to present the documentation of their use of the Creative Practice. Encourage them to choose a method that is appropriate to their art practice. It is important that they present their documentation in a way that is easily navigated and shows the process that they have followed rather than as put together a curated presentation.
Art Creative Practice Unit 4 Area of Study 1 Detailed learning example The student responded to feedback they received from their critique at the start of Unit 4 by continuing to develop and refine their skill, imagery, composition and visual language through a series of annotated trials that provided insight to their ideas and intention supported by the application of the Interpretive Lenses. .
