Visual Arts at St Patrick\u2019s College, Strathfield, provides students with skills and the experience to navigate an increasingly multi-sensory world. Students are encouraged to investigate and manage multiple modes of learning in a dynamic, collaborative, and academic environment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\nThey are given the freedom to explore their strengths and weaknesses and connect theoretical knowledge with practical actions.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Curriculum from Stage 3 to 6 is designed to personally and artistically extended students beyond the rudimentary and satisfactory. Students are continuously challenged and creatively enriched by contemporary art practices. Moving through each curriculum stage students investigate several artmaking forms, ranging from ceramics, photography, painting, printmaking, digital media, drawing and film.\u00a0 Numerous opportunities are provided to students to showcase and exhibit their artworks via short-term displays, publications, and the Year 12 Major Works evening.<\/p>\n
The knowledge, understanding, skills, and values gained from all courses in Visual Arts assist students to manifest their ideas and make real their conceptual intentions. Visual Arts students\u2019 develop critical skills of analysis, reflection, judgement, and appreciation which further enhance a broad range of disciplines, learning areas and future University studies.<\/p>\n
