About the Learning Area
Art and Design seeks to stimulate each student's ability to think creatively through expression in their chosen art, design or media forms. We recognise and encourage individual differences by working with students on a personal basis and by insisting that they cultivate self-evaluation as their most important critical resource.
Students are encouraged to improvise and trust their intuitive responses to discover new approaches to creativity and design solutions. We strive to recognise the students personal complexities and understand their unique concerns so that we may guide them through the tentative stages toward contemporary artistic and design responses. A level of commitment, application and dedication is equally important for any student to achieve success within the Art and Design Learning Area. The wise independent creative learner flourishes within the Art and Design context at Carey.
We recommend that students undertake one or more studies from this Learning Area to build a folio of diverse work.
Students who have studied Art and Design subjects have gained tertiary access and employment in the following fields: fine arts, animation, architecture, fashion design, industrial design, digital and web design, building and construction, commercial cooking, architecture, interior design, media and communications, screen writing, photography and filmmaking.
In Year 11, students have the opportunity attend our Carey National Art & Design study tour. The study tour is focussed on exploring opportunities with tertiary institutions and external artists and designers which may influence their subject choices in Year 12 and beyond. A Carey Art & Design learning paradigm also encourages a global understanding of the creative industries, and we are currently developing an international study tour in the coming years to be offered to Year 11 Art & Design learners.
Exhibitions
Students participate in regular group and subject exhibitions throughout the year and have the opportunity to attend interstate and overseas study tours focussed on enhancing opportunities to engage with national and international Art and Design organisations and industries.
Our annual end of year Art & Design exhibition celebrates and showcases student work from across the entire Learning Area.
Artist in Residence programs immerse our students in the contemporary practice of local and interstate artists and designers. This opportunity creates real life experiences through the collaboration of the artist, teacher and our students and is a core component of our teaching program in the art and design learning area.
