THE ARTS Camberwell Grammar School is proud of its long and distinguished history of providing quality arts education for boys. The School offers subjects in both Visual and Performing Arts including Art, Music, Visual Communication & Design (VCD), and Drama, and offers the opportunity to participate in many arts activities outside normal class time. Please note that a student does not need to study Music or Drama to be a member of a school orchestra or band, or perform in school plays. Arts subjects promote the development of creativity in students. They encourage self-expression, and involve students in introspection as well as engagement with the wider artistic world. Students explore different media, composition and collaboration within their chosen discipline.
Arts study is elective at Years 9 and 10, but is a valuable part of a balanced course of study.

ASSESSMENT
ICT plays an important role in the areas of Art research and documentation. Students use digital cameras, scanners, overhead projectors, computers and mobile devices to source and generate imagery, archive their own work and aid in reflective annotation.
Students are assessed on their ability in creating and making artwork in a range of two and three-dimensional materials. Assessment considers the development of ideas in the Visual Diary and the resolution of work in the Folio. Exploring and responding to theoretical components of the course includes research, analysis and effective use of art language based on the art elements and design principles. There are a minimum of five theory tasks per Semester and an end of year examination. YR 9 & 10 CURRICULUM GUIDE 2021
