Synopsis

The  process  of  artistic awareness involves the  study  of  artists,
artworks  and art process in a cultural context. This unit  will  help
the  student to have a greater understanding and be more aware of  the
broad  spectrum of the visual arts. This unit explores the development
of  certain themes and images that recur throughout the history of the
visual  arts.  The role of art in the context of society,  philosophy,
and  the  environment will be discussed in relation to the history  of
ideas, stylistic development, and the use of symbolism. Students  will
be  encouraged  to  develop  an  awareness  and  an  understanding  of
influences on their own work and to recognise and develop an  emerging
personal philosophy.
