VCE Art encourages artistic development through personal and independent exploration. It emphasizes innovative thinking and investigation and the ability to progressively develop ideas and personal concepts, and refine skills. This involves the production of visual solutions, including the use of materials, techniques and processes toward the development of artworks. Students explore ideas and demonstrate effective working methods, a range of technical skills and aesthetic qualities through a process of investigation and experimentation. Investigations of art form(s) are an integral part of this exploratory process as is the visual and written documentation of thinking and working practices. VCE Art aims to develop in students the ability to respond to art in an informed and articulate manner. With the acquisition of technical and analytical skills, personal involvement and critical study, students develop an ability to interpret and discuss and debate the ideas and issues which it raises.
