VCE Art Creative Practice case studies
VCE Art Creative Practice · Put your knowledge to work in context.
VCE Art Creative Practice is a Victorian Certificate of Education study accredited for the period from 2023. The study design covers Units 1 to 4 and sets out the areas of study, outcomes and assessment requirements for each unit. It is intended for senior secondary students in Victoria who are building a folio-based art practice and who want their creative work recognised within the VCE. Because the study runs across four units, students typically progress from foundational exploration in Units 1 and 2 to sustained, independently driven work in Units 3 and 4. The VCE Art Creative Practice case studies are 5 cases and about 3,630 words.
