Remote Visual Arts Information for Parents and Students
Visual Art stimulates the imagination. It develops self-esteem and encourages openness and understanding towards the opinion of others. Learning within the Visual Arts Program, students learn to enjoy and take pride in the Art that they create. This helps to build positive attitudes, not only towards themselves but also towards others. They learn through creative experiences to look at their environment and the world around them and develop a higher sense of perception.Through creative experiences they also develop problem-solving skills and connect visual knowledge to other subjects.

The Visual Art Program aims to enable students to understand that...
  •  There is no exact way to create and express art.
  • Every person interprets differently and what one person sees, may not be what the next person sees.
  • Art is personal and individual to it's creator.

 It further aims to...
  • Empower students, to they may take control of their own learning.
  • Allow student to be creative and use their imagination to make new and wonderful Art that represents a part of who they are.
  • Encourage students to think deeper and move out of their comfort zone and explore the endless possibilities.
  • Reflect, evaluate and analyse their own learning whilst identifying skills and techniques.
Visual Art is connected to all subjects within the school's curriculum. Speaking and listening occur naturally in all aspects of discussion whether done collectively as a whole class or individually. Our students are asked to reflect on their work both verbally and written. Such skill as Space, Measurement, Location, Shape and Pattern are all intterwined as are areas of Science, Health & Physical Education (movement), Technology and so on. All these areas compliment and enhance learning within the Art program and vice versa. Children develop confidence to try new skills and in turn apply them to other areas of learning.

Every child is unique in the way that they think, speak and view the world around them.

"I am always doing things I can't do, That's how I get to do them." - Picasso
