Unit 3
This unit focuses on the implementation of an individual design process leading to the production
of a range of potential directions and solutions. Students develop and use an exploration proposal to
define an area of creative exploration. They plan and apply a design process to explore and develop
their individual ideas. Analysis of these explorations and the development of the potential directions
is an intrinsic part of the design process to support the making of finished artworks in Unit 4.
For this study, the exploration proposal supports the student to identify a direction for their design
process. The design process is individually determined by the student. It records trialling, experimenting,
analysing and evaluating the extent to which their art practices successfully communicate their aims
and ideas. From this process students can develop directions for the development of finished artworks
in Unit 4.
The study of artists and their work practices and processes may provide inspiration for students’ own
approaches to artmaking. Students investigate and analyse the response of artists to a wide range of
stimuli, and examine their use of materials and techniques. They explore professional art practices
of artists in relation to particular artworks and art form/s and identify the development of styles in
artworks. Throughout their study of art processes, students also consider the issues that may arise from
the use of other artists’ work in the making of new artworks. Students are expected to visit at least two
different exhibition spaces in their current year of study.
