Artwise 2

This new edition of Artwise 2: Visual Arts 9-10 with eBookPLUS, 2nd Edition is specifically written for Stage 5 Visual Arts in New South Wales. It provides a stimulating resource for students in Years 9 and 10, with a broad range of Australian and international artists, and a balance of traditional and contemporary examples.

Artists' studies are organised in four sections: The Frames, Conceptual Framework, Contemporary Artists' Practice, and Historical Art Periods/Styles. Features and content in each artist's study are designed to:

• Consolidate students' understanding of the frames
• Further develop students' understanding of the Conceptual Framework and the relationships that are most relevant in the art world
• Provide insights into artmaking practice through artists' statements and descriptions of techniques, media, and ideas
• Develop skills in interpreting and writing about art, with descriptions of artworks and introductions to artists (Critical study and Historical study), extracts of thought-provoking art critical and art historical writing (Critical practice and Historical practice), and a range of student activities (e.g., Studying art, Artmaking)

Artwise 2, Second Edition is now fully supported by eBookPLUS. Artwise 2, Second Edition eBookPLUS is an electronic version of the textbook and a complementary set of targeted digital resources.
