Emmanuel Catholic College Curriculum Handbook
Year 8

Visual Arts

Do you find yourself sketching or even creating your own comics or Manga?

Do you want to improve your painting & sculpture skills so you can impress friends and earn followers online? This could be the course for you. As Arts students, you will produce a visual diary of designs, applying colour theory and experimentation with different art media such as inks and clay. Students will
also get the opportunity to produce interesting and inspired artworks.

Studio areas that may be explored during the year:
– Drawing
– Mixed art works
– Painting
– Printmaking
– Ceramics/clay
– Contemporary and traditional crafts
– Mixed art works
– Sculpture

Assessment
In this learning area, you will design and produce four final artworks in the studio areas of painting,
sculpture, print and mixed media. You will also complete two analysis assignments, discussing
artwork using arts language and two investigations where you study the practices of Australian
and international artists.
