In Levels 1 and 2, students develop their awareness of how and why artists, craftspeople and designers express their ideas through different art forms. They enhance their perception skills as they examine and express familiar and new objects and events in their lives. They explore how and why artworks are created. They develop and apply safe and sustainable practices when experimenting with different materials, techniques and technologies
As they make and respond to visual artworks, students explore meaning, forms and styles in different social, cultural and historical contexts. They experience the role of artist and audience in their visual arts making.
By the end of Level 2, students make artworks using different materials, techniques and processes to express their ideas, observations and imagination.
Students describe artworks they make and view, including where and why artworks are made and viewed.
