THE PROCESS
The praxis of making art is a process of interpreting the artist’s creative vision of and for the world. The artist can combine disciples and techniques to deliver a uniquely personal message. Artworks can be conceptual or engage with all literacies, including written, visual, and oral.

LEARNING JOURNAL
A visual journal is a critical tool for recording praxis for Weatherill. The study design for Studio Arts requires students to apply a studio process that uses creative and critical thinking to document and reflect on the practice of making art.
Students are required to progressively document in a visual diary their studio practice to explain and evaluate the exploratory work they have undertaken in line with the ideas presented in their exploration proposal (VCAA, 2016). |
Through an experimental inquiry process, students take on the challenge of creating a line drawing in graphite which functions as an electrical circuit to illuminate an LED light within the composition. In designing and building their composition, they consider the art elements of line, light and the art principals’ focal point and contrast.
It is intended that this task would be taught in collaboration with a colleague from a science learning area and is aligned with the Victorian curriculum. |
