The learning encompassed in the visual art program at Chelsea is based on the Victorian Curriculum and involves the dimensions 'Explore and Express Ideas', 'Visual Arts Practices', 'Present and Perform', and 'Respond and Interpret'.  These dimensions focus on ideas, skills, techniques, processes and presentations

At Chelsea Primary School, we utilise the following areas of art to develop these skills: painting, printing, collage, construction, modelling, drawing, textiles, and threads.  These may be introduced as individual projects or as part of a mixed-media project.  Also being introduced is the use of the computer in graphic presentations.

These eight areas involve the children's imagination and allow for experimentation, planning and the application of skills, techniques and processes.  

At Chelsea Primary School, students explore the quality of artworks, discuss the purpose of the works and the audience for whom they were created, and develop art language to express their thoughts about the artworks.
