Curriculum content descriptions

share artworks and/or visual arts practice in informal settings (AC9AVA2P01)

Elaborations
  • presenting an artwork they have made to the class, a small group or their teacher and explaining what they like about it
  • creating a spontaneous and experimental artwork and only showing a small portion of it to their audience as they dramatise the making of the work; or using unlikely objects for brushes, testing colours and “brush” strokes using expressive movements, and applying a cardboard “window” frame as a flourish across the finished painting to find the most “successful section”, trimming away the remainder and concluding the performance by cutting a “window frame” from paper to frame their final selection for display
  • using an everyday object as the starting point, drawing the object, then personifying it by adding character qualities, attributes and a name; then taking it in turns to match each student’s artwork with the appropriate object, explaining how they arrived at their decision
  • deciding on an appropriate audience and ways to share their artworks; for example, sharing with the class a work-in-progress or posting their work on a school learning management system to allow their families to see and appreciate it
