Year 8/9 - Extension Academy: Visual Arts

The aim of the Art Extension Academy course is to extend students who have excelled in Visual Art subjects and wish to strengthen and enhance their abilities in this area. In Art Extension Academy, students will engage in a variety of collaborative and independent art-making activities that will promote exploration and reflection. Students will take part in studio workshops to learn new and specialist skills, develop ideas and their own unique art style and create resolved artworks. The course provides students with the opportunity to use specialist materials and to attend excursions that will further their understanding of contemporary and traditional art-making techniques.

Students are selected on the basis of their interest and skill in the visual arts.

Information on how to apply can be found on the Extension Academies page.

Future Directions
Completion of Arts Extension Academy can lead to pathways in Art including VCE Art Creative Practice or VCE Visual Communication and Design at the Beaconsfield Campus.
