Level 5 Creating and making

At Level 5 students, individually and collaboratively, plan, design, improvise, interpret and present artworks that expressively communicate feelings, ideas and purpose. They select and apply skills, techniques, processes, media, materials and technologies across a range of arts forms. They generate and develop ideas that explore themes, techniques and issues when making arts works. They manipulate arts elements and principles to expressively communicate ideas and develop imaginative solutions to set tasks. They explain their decisions about how they present arts works for specific purposes and audiences.

Level 6 Creating and making

At Level 6, within and across areas of specialisation, students create arts works devised from a range of abstract ideas and/or stimuli, demonstrating development of a personal style. They justify and refine the content and aesthetic qualities of their works.

Individually and in groups, they design and product arts works influenced by the style o f particular artists or cultures. They vary the content, structure and form of their arts works to suit purpose, audience and/or the conventions of a specific style, and demonstrate proficiency and technical competence in the use of skills, techniques and processes.
