visual arts process diaries

The following are a selection of Visual Arts Process Diaries (VAPD) from exhibiting students in ARTEXPRESS 2009. Each process diary has been chosen to enhance understandings of artworks and the exhibition experience through insights into a range of expressive forms and the ideas and process that have contributed to the development of these artworks by each student.

'Students are required to keep a VAPD during the Preliminary and HSC Visual Arts courses. It is expected that there should be some connection between what is in the diary and what is produced as an artwork. Students can use their diaries to formulate ideas and their intentions for what they will do in artmaking and it may indicate a student's research within the creative process. It can suggest technical interests and risk-taking, beliefs and interpretations and allow for reflection, evaluation and assessment.'
