This subject will explore how young people engage with the arts (including visual and performing arts), and how the arts helps to form their cultural and social identities. This subject is taught in intensive mode with a combination of tutorials and cultural site visits.
Students will investigate trends in young people's use of the arts to develop and express individualities, and then create an arts-based 'artefact' of their choosing using the arts to illustrate understandings of these trends. Student understanding of youth arts will be contextualised through investigations into the companies, organisations and individuals who provide or facilitate visual and performing arts works and experiences for young people. The subject will support the students to understand the processes associated with art-making with young people. During some of the classes, students may have the opportunity to work alongside artists and young people who are studying the arts in schools.
