VCAA requirements kept separate from the formative strategies that make the learning visible.

Where this learning leads / UNITS 3 + 4 ONLY

A professional reference showing how skills built early in Art Creative Practice — visual language development, exploration of materials, techniques and processes, the Interpretive Lenses, documentation, critical reflection, critique, annotation, authorship + authentication and source acknowledgement — later become scored assessment. Not assessment authority for Unit 2; detailed SAT criteria are deliberately kept off the Unit 2 teaching pages.
