Sample cards from this deck

1. Definition

   The Creative Practice framework: VCE Art Creative Practice

   Define Creative Practice

   The Creative Practice is a personal, repeated cycle of exploring and connecting with ideas, developing and refining art using materials and techniques, and resolving and presenting artworks, all documented in a visual diary so that thinking and making remain visible.

2. Definition

   Collaborative approaches in the Creative Practice: VCE Art Creative Practice

   Define collaborative creative practice

   A collaborative creative practice is one in which two or more people share the generation of ideas, the making decisions and the authorship of an artwork, while each participant still contributes their own skills and reflection.

3. Definition

   Examining one artwork and an artist practice: VCE Art Creative Practice

   Define Borrow a strategy, not the image

   If an artist builds meaning through repetition, try repetition with your own subject rather than copying their motif.

4. Definition

   Personal investigation and area of personal interest: VCE Art Creative Practice

   Define area of personal interest

   An area of personal interest is the self chosen theme, question or concern that a student investigates through the Creative Practice, providing the conceptual foundation for the body of work developed across Units 3 and 4.

5. Definition

   Art ideas, meanings and messages: VCE Art Creative Practice

   Define art idea

   An art idea is the concept, theme or concern an artwork explores. A meaning is what the artwork expresses or evokes.

6. Definition

   Resolving a body of work and finished artwork: VCE Art Creative Practice

   Define body of work

   A body of work is a documented sequence of exploration and development, with reflective annotations, that traces how personal ideas were generated, tested and refined through the Creative Practice toward a resolved finished work.

7. Definition

   The visual diary in the Creative Practice: VCE Art Creative Practice

   Define Connect to intent

   Say what you are trying to communicate and whether the trial got closer.

8. Definition

   The critique as a reflective tool: VCE Art Creative Practice

   Define Evaluate

   Judge how successfully the work communicates its intention. Evaluation is comparative and reasoned, not just "I like it".

9. Definition

   Producing a finished artwork using the Creative Practice: VCE Art Creative Practice

   Define Conceptual possibilities

   Generate several ways to express your idea before committing. Width here protects you from a thin final work.

10. Definition

    Comparing artists, practices and artworks: VCE Art Creative Practice

    Define comparison in this study

    A comparison in this study is a reasoned analysis of similarities and differences between two artists, drawing on their practices and selected artworks and supported by evidence and the Interpretive Lenses.
