Students will be introduced to a variety of experiences and explore a range of fine art media, techniques, and processes. They will be made aware of both traditional and new technologies. Students will explore relevant images, artifacts, and resources relating to art and design from the past and from recent times, including European and non-European examples. This will be integral to the investigating and making process. Their responses to these examples must be shown through practical and critical activities that demonstrate the student's understanding of different styles, genres, and traditions.
