ACP Unit 1

(Daboss, 2024)

Welcome to Art: Creative Practice! 

Through engaging with the content in Unit 1, you will:

  • Use Experiential learning processes in Making and Responding to explore ideas using the Creative Practice

  • Consider your connection to artworks, and how their communication of ideas and presentation of artworks challenge, shape, and influence audience perspectives

  • focus on the making of art and examine how artists communicate ideas and meaning in artworks

  • examine artists in different societies, cultures and historical periods and develop your own interpretations and viewpoints about the meanings and messages of artworks

  • explore how artists create new ways of thinking and representation, while developing your own art practice
