Overview
Students explore how time, culture and place influences art with a particular focus on these art forms: body art, body adornment pieces and digital photography. As an artist, they will use inspiration from traditional and contemporary art forms to create and express their ideas through various creations and will write an artist’s statement for each piece of work to welcome an audience to their art. As a viewer, they respond to their own and others’ artwork and consider the artists’ intent using key questions.
