Year 12 Creative Arts

Course Description

Stage 2 Creative Arts offers students a flexible program that builds on their interests and strengths. Each year, the course is shaped to suit the group, allowing students to work in one arts area or across different disciplines such as performing arts, visual arts, screen arts, or writing. 

Students create and present a range of arts products, which could include plays, concerts, exhibitions, digital media, films, public art, and more. They learn to combine ideas from different art forms while respecting the unique qualities of each. 

Through practical work and by studying professional artists, students gain a deeper understanding of how the creative arts work in the real world. They develop their own style, learn to analyse and evaluate creative works, and appreciate how the arts contribute to our culture and community.
