WHAT IS VISUAL ARTS?
Visual Arts is not about drawing. It Is about images, paints, people, civilizations, charcoal, places, paper, water, characters, inks, and it’s about your own journal. We have fun in the art classroom. Learners play with colours, they learn about sculpture, they glue and stick, they look at art through the ages, they study images and learn about artists and their characters. Visual Arts has two parts. Learners study art through the ages from Pre-historic art to the modern day and they do practical work. Each term learners will keep their own journal and they create a piece of art as part of a practical project. In a fun atmosphere, learners learn to create their own masterpieces.
In visual arts, you’ll learn about various artistic techniques, styles, and mediums. You’ll study elements like line, shape, form, colour, texture, and space, along with principles of design such as balance, contrast, unity, and rhythm. Additionally, you’ll explore art history, gain an understanding of different artistic movements, and develop your ability to interpret and critique artworks. Practical skills like drawing, painting, sculpture, digital art, and more will be honed as you express your creativity and develop your own artistic voice.
In a traditional visual art curriculum, students can expect to learn a wide range of skills and concepts, including:
The specific curriculum may vary depending on the level of education, the institution, and the individual artist’s interests and goals. Visual art is a broad and diverse field, allowing students to explore and specialize in various areas of artistic expression.
