Ballarat Specialist School’s Visual Arts aims to develop students’:
- confidence, curiosity, imagination and enjoyment to develop a personal voice through the engagement with visual arts-making and ways of communicating visually
- visual arts knowledge, understanding, skills, inquiry processes and thinking to shape ideas
- understanding of visual arts in the human experience
Play Based Learning
Play-based learning is an important part of the BSS Visual Arts Program. This is partly because play and art are fundamentally related. Play-based learning is developed through engagement, communication and a sense of purpose. Play is a context for learning through which students organise and make sense of their world, as they engage actively with people, objects and representation.
Ballarat Specialist School acknowledges the Wadawurrung people as the traditional custodians of these lands on which we come to learn. We pay our respect to their Elders, past, present and emerging.
