020414 Art Study 4: Design and Power

Students develop an understanding of aesthetics as it relates to visual arts. Through problem-solving activities, students document the design process as it applies to art production and the education of children. Analysis of all facets of the commercialisation of art forms the basis for the development and marketing of practical visual arts 'products'. Students are encouraged to investigate the creative potential of a range of new technologies. The political and social power of art is examined and students research one interest area of art in depth and present these findings in a written paper and a major work exhibition.
