Art
and Design: Fine Art
Fine
art may be defined as work which is produced as an outcome of the students’
personal experience, rather than that which is created exclusively for a
practical function, or that which is the outcome of a tightly prescribed
brief. It is a means by which ideas are explored, communicated and, through
visual information and enquiry, translated into art outcomes.
Work
produced will demonstrate the use of formal elements and creative skills, and
give visual form to individual thoughts, feelings, observations and ideas.
Students will show evidence of trying to extend their own and others’ ways of
seeing the world. They will use the visual language of the subject sensitively
and thoughtfully to support their intentions.
Students
should:
|
undertake
visual research, using primary and secondary sources, and record observations,
experiences
and ideas in appropriate ways. Primary sources must include first-hand
experience
of original work
|
|
develop
and realise ideas and outcomes, exploring and reviewing possible solutions and
modifying work appropriately
|
|
understand
and use (appropriately and safely) a range of materials, equipment, processes
and
techniques in two and/or three dimensions, using information and communication
technology,
where appropriate
|
|
know
and understand a range of work, from contemporary practice, past practice and
different
cultures, in order to demonstrate an understanding of continuity and change in
art,
craft
and design.
|
