ARTS, TECHNOLOGY AND DESIGN

YEAR 10 | ART, TECHNOLOGY AND DESIGN OPTIONS

Art Making and Exhibiting (1 unit)

The Visual Arts are critical to how we communicate and express meaning in the world around us. In this unit students will grow as individual artists, developing their own artistic style and have opportunities to explore a range of traditional and contemporary visual art techniques including drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, wearable art, film, or sculpture.

Activities will include experimenting with a variety of mediums and styles to express meaning around a self-chosen theme.

In the studio environment students will analyse connections between visual conventions, practices and viewpoints, identify influences of artistic styles and other artists’ and in students’ own artworks. Students will have opportunities to explore galleries, exhibitions and work with practising artists, gaining an understanding of historical and cultural influences in the Visual Arts.

Year 10 Art Making and Exhibitings is a solid foundation for the study of VCE Art Making and Exhibiting.

Food Studies (1 unit)

$ $

Alarmingly, over 25 percent of Australians are now either overweight or obese. Do you know how to make healthy food choices to maintain a healthy weight for longevity and a quality of life? Are you interested in the impact that food sources have on people, the environment and future generations?

In Food Studies, students investigate the links between food, environment, nutrition and health. They apply critical thinking and problem solving skills to come up with solutions based on consumer needs. Students consider global and historical influences on Australian food trends and the importance of a sustainable food supply.

Using the design process and the application of appropriate technologies, students investigate, experiment and produce high quality, healthy meal solutions.

Year 10 Food Studies is a solid foundation for the study of VCE Food Studies.
