Visual arts is taught as part of the broader arts curriculum and provides students with opportunities to explore ideas, develop skills and create artworks using a range of materials and techniques. The program encourages students to express themselves visually, respond to the work of artists, and understand how art reflects and shapes culture.

Students engage with both contemporary and traditional artists as inspiration for their own work. Current units explore the work of Australian and international figures, including Yayoi Kusama’s playful dot patterns, Howard Arkley’s vibrant depictions of suburban houses, Louise Nevelson’s textured assemblages, and Keith Haring’s bold graphic style. These experiences allow students to experiment with a wide range of processes such as sculpture, drawing, printmaking and painting, while connecting their own work to broader artistic ideas.

Accessibility is embedded throughout the program. Students use a wide range of adapted tools and equipment to ensure that everyone can engage meaningfully in the creative process. These include board mounted scissors, bent paintbrushes and textas, glue stick with holders, custom made rollers, and switch adapted tools for activating devices such as paint spinners. Materials are carefully selected and presented to provide options for different sensory needs, enabling every student to participate fully in art making.

Student work is regularly displayed within the school and through community exhibitions, celebrating achievement and providing authentic opportunities for students to present their creative voices to a wider audience.
