Year+8

Year 8 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 creative self-expression. Emphasis will be placed on acquiring the knowledge in visual elements and design principles to solving visual problems. It will enable us to produce creative yet insightful artworks through training in aesthetic and creative thinking. We will learn the media of //(colour) pencil drawing, dry pastel drawing// and //poster colour painting//. We will understand the concepts and learn the skills and techniques by practicing. Besides, we will also learn the vocabularies of visual arts. We will learn the creative use of design elements such as line, shape and pattern for creation. These visual vocabularies help us to depict our ideas and appreciate our artworks.

We will explore 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)
