Visual Arts________________________
______________Essential Learnings
As stated by the QSA Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Framework Visual Art involves using visual arts elements, concepts, processes and forms (both 2D and 3D) to express ideas, considering particular audiences and particular purposes, through images and objects. • Warm (red, orange, yellow) and cool (blue, green, purple) colour schemes, and mixed and complementary colours, are used to create tone and variation e.g. using cool colours to suggest calm in a paper and glue sculpture about dreams and sleep. • Line is used to suggest movement and direction e.g. using heavy, straight lines to suggest the swiftness of a cheetah running or soft, squiggly lines to suggest the slowness of a flowing river. • Regular, irregular, open, enclosed, overlapped and adjacent shapes are used to create categories and position e.g. using a variety of rectangular shapes together in a painting to represent buildings in a town. • Texture is used to create variation and repetition e.g. using rough and smooth fabrics and paper to create different surfaces in a collage.
