In the Tilt Shift unit, students experimented with scale and illusion, transforming everyday food items into playful miniature landscapes. Their final compositions were cleverly designed as magazine covers, demonstrating an understanding of layout, white space and visual hierarchy. Students used their Visual Arts diaries to plan and refine their ideas, applying Viewpoints to consider how meaning can be shaped through composition and context.
In the Stop Motion Animation unit, students brought their favourite movie trailers to life through frame-by-frame photography. Working with the principle of 24 frames per second, they developed short animations that included transitions, sound effects and backing tracks using Premiere Pro. This unit encouraged students to think critically about timing, narrative and rhythm, while also building technical skills in digital editing and sequencing. The final animations showcased their creativity and growing understanding of how artists use Practice to communicate ideas through time-based media.
Both units supported students in developing autonomy in their art making, while deepening their understanding of the roles and relationships within the Artworld. The results were imaginative, polished and full of personality!
