<p>This unit provides students with grounding in the elements, principles, practice, and materials of multi-dimensional representation in the visual arts. The unit investigates concepts related to the fabrication of art, such as composition and space, dimension, volume, and so on and is structured around thematic projects. These projects will involve students in a range of experimental and organisational processes through working with materials, methods, tools and processes while gaining experience of safe art-making in a complex workshop /studio environment. Students develop understanding of the elements of visual art and how they work expressively and skills in creating artworks.</p>

The learning process encourages and supports visits to art galleries/artists’ studios, public, private and alternative exhibition spaces. Through experimentation with media, tools, and processes students will develop understanding of the workings and issues of visual expression in order to develop individual creative, interpretative, and problem-solving approaches.</p>
