Year+9+VA

**Year 9** **VA**

In our Visual Arts classes this year, we will be working on improving our understanding in Visual Arts. We will explore how Art serves as a form of cultural awareness. It will enable us to promote deeper understanding in the social and cultural landscape through critical study and evaluation of given raised issues. To achieve this objective, fieldtrips and museum/gallery visits will be arranged to enhance our understanding about social, economic, political and religious aspects. Meanwhile, we will also learn the media of //creative drawing// and //graphic design//. It is expected to develop certain personal styles and skills of our creative yet insightful interpretation.

We will continue to investigate into the following important disciplines so as to develop the ability in learning Visual Arts - Art History (by acquiring knowledge about the contributions artists and art make to the culture and society) - Art Appreciation (by understanding how people justify judgement about art objectives) - Art Production (by making art) - Art Criticism (by responding to and making judgements about the properties and qualities that exist in visual forms)  **Exemplars of work**
