Year 7 – Arts

Year 7 Performing Arts

The Year 7 Performance Arts course gives students the opportunity to try their hand at a range of Performing Arts subjects in a fun and collaborative environment. Students will get to explore improvisation and creativity through the study of music, drama and dance elements. Students will develop theory and practical skills as they work through different performance arts experiences.  It’s a great opportunity to develop the group skills, confidence, problem solving, creativity and energy it takes to be a great Performing Artist (we promise to only take part of the credit when your name is up in lights!)

 

Year 7 Visual Arts

In Year 7, students have opportunities to use and apply visual art language and artistic conventions in their design and production process. They create 2D and/or 3D artwork through projects which encourage personal response and an understanding of compositional structure. Students are made aware of the need for safe visual art practices, and present their artwork for display.

Students are introduced to an awareness of cultural, social and historical contexts that are embodied in artwork/art style which, in turn, allows them to link their own production to a given context. They consider how to present artwork to enhance audience interpretation.
