 * __ Practice in Artmaking, Art Criticism and Art History __**

**DEFINING “PRACTICE” in the VISUAL ARTS**

Students learn about practice in artmaking and learn how to make art in its various forms within the context of the artroom. Practice in artmaking requires an understanding of how a network of procedures can be used to make art and how the exercise of judgement as reflective action is central to the making of informed decisions.
 * •Artmaking **

The expressive forms available to students include:

• **//two dimensional forms//** — drawing, painting, printmaking, graphic design, photography and digital media; • **//three dimensional forms//** — sculpture, ceramics, textiles and fibre, designed objects and environments (eg wearables, jewellery, architectural design and product design); • **//four dimensional works/time-based works//** — film and video, digital animation, documented forms, performance works and interactives.

Students learn about practice in art criticism and art history which complements and extends their understanding of the visual arts gained in artmaking. They learn how to evaluate and explain the significance of particular artists, artworks, audience responses and representations of the world in these studies. Practice within art criticism and art history requires an understanding of how networks of procedures can be used to speculate about the meanings of artworks, and locate them in critical narratives and significant histories.
