About Art in TMJC
Art develops how students observe, interpret and communicate. Through the study of artists and artworks, students at TMJC learn to read visual information critically, form considered personal responses, and understand how art reflects and shapes the societies it comes from. These are skills of discernment and expression that hold value across any field of study or work.
Both H1 and H2 Art students undertake the Art Discourse written component, which develops visual literacy, art appreciation and critical thinking. Students learn to interpret what they see, express informed personal responses, and understand how art communicates ideas within different social and cultural contexts. H2 Art students additionally undertake a Portfolio, through which they develop and refine their own artistic practice.
Study the visual arts in depth, through discourse and art making with H2 Art (9357)
H2 Art suits students who want a fuller study of art through both discourse and making. Alongside the analysis of artists and artworks, students develop a Portfolio that lets them pursue ideas of personal significance, experiment with a range of media, techniques and technologies, and shape their own practice. This process grows their creativity, critical thinking and confidence in communicating what they set out to express.
