11ART - Visual Arts Dilworth Diploma

Aims of the Course:

In a world that's constantly evolving with uncertain futures, there's a growing demand for creative and diverse thinkers capable of devising unique solutions for both existing and emerging challenges. The Visual Arts programme strives to equip students with the skills and self-assurance to think beyond conventional boundaries and explore their creativity.

Students will learn how to explore and express ideas visually on a topic shared with the class. Students will study and create different types of art and gain practical skills by trying out various materials and techniques in drawing, printmaking, design, photography and sculpture. Using these skills, students will create a collection of artworks that show how your ideas have developed, inspired by different artists. The course teaches students to understand and communicate the meaning behind your art, expressing your thoughts and feelings and becoming a reflective thinker in the process. Students will also learn about why art is made, how people see it, and why it's valuable and discover new ways to understand yourself, your community, and the world.
