Dimensions and objectives The dimensions are the salient properties or characteristics of distinctive learning for this subject. The objectives describe what students should know and be able to do by the end of the course of study. Progress in a particular dimension may depend on the knowledge, understanding and skills developed in other dimensions. Learning through each of the dimensions increases in complexity to allow for greater independence for learners over a four-semester course of study. The standards have a direct relationship with the objectives, and are described in the same dimensions as the objectives. Schools assess how well students have achieved all of the objectives using the standards. The dimensions for a course of study in this subject are: Dimension 1: Dimension 2: Dimension 3: . Dimension 1: Knowing and understanding refers to demonstrating knowledge of visual art concepts and by retrieving relevant knowledge from long-term memory. It involves constructing meaning from oral, written and visual texts, including artworks, through recognising, interpreting, explaining and demonstrating art-making processes and literacies. Objectives By the conclusion of the course of students should: recall terminology and explain art-making processes interpret information about concepts and ideas for a purpose demonstrate art-making processes required for visual artworks. When students recall, they retrieve relevant knowledge from long-term memory. When students explain, they provide examples or further detail to help clarify and exemplify the meaning of processes. Art-making processes are all of the considerations and procedures that a student must undertake to make art, including planning, knowledge of mediums, technical requirements and workplace health and safety practices. When students interpret, they make the meaning clear by converting information about visual art concepts and ideas from one form to another. This may include the interpretation of aesthetic codes and symbolic languages. This is achieved working towards a particular purpose within a visual art area of study, e.g. 2D or 3D. The purpose for producing the artwork influences the production and realisation of the artwork. When students demonstrate, they show their understanding of art-making processes by reproducing learnt practical skills and techniques. These art-making processes are necessary for the area of study and options the student is undertaking to produce a visual artwork for a particular purpose.
