What is the relationship between the two dimensions in the Arts domain?
The Arts dimensions are Creating and making and Exploring and responding. As students create and make arts works they explore and respond to ideas that emerge from a range of starting points and stimuli. Through observation, analysis and evaluation of works by other artists, students develop knowledge of ways arts works communicate ideas. They use this knowledge imaginatively and perceptively to experiment with ideas in their own arts making. Students’ responses to arts works by other artists develop their understanding of the purposes, functions and audiences that arts works are created for. Exploring the work of other artists also provides students with opportunities to develop knowledge of approaches to applying specific skills, techniques, processes, media, materials and technologies.
