Visual Arts

 

Visual Arts at Al-Faisal College is a stimulating centre of learning that aims to:

•     Activate, develop and liberate the creative potential of individual students

•     Simulate self-expression through a personal awareness of imagination, intuition, emotion and point of view

 

We strive to help students to:

•     Exhibit and constantly evaluate one’s own work as well as the work of others

•     Develop visual and tactile sensitivity

•     Develop powers of observation and become aware of the environment as a source of inspiration for art making

•     Develop enjoyment and confidence in the ability to think creatively

•     Develop aesthetic appreciation and communicate ideas and opinion

•     Realise the expressive potential of a variety of media and its implications

 

At Al-Faisal, we endeavour to expose students to a large variety of visual media when they study the Visual Arts, including drawing, painting, ceramics, sculptures, printmaking, photography and digital media.

 

Visual Arts Stage 4 (Years 7 and 8)

 

Visual Arts is experienced by all students in Years 7-8 in a balanced curriculum of both theory and practice.  Students will have an opportunity to explore their creative potential by producing artworks inspired by the artists studied.  Students learn to take on the roles of artist, art critic and art historian through the various activities conducted each lesson. Students explore a variety of two and three dimensional media whilst studying a variety of themes throughout their course of study at the College.
