Gifted and Talented Visual Arts — Test Preparation Program
Students applying for the Gifted and Talented Visual Arts program in Western Australian public schools are required to attend a Visual Arts workshop as part of the selection process. This assessment focuses on a combination of technical skill, creativity, visual thinking, and analytical ability.
The test typically includes three components:
- Drawing Task
A timed pencil drawing on A3 paper. Students are assessed on their observational skills, technical accuracy, and composition.
- Sculpture Task
A three-dimensional artwork created in response to a design prompt. This task evaluates the student's spatial awareness, originality, and ability to work within creative limitations.
- Image Analysis (Written Task)
A written response to a set of questions about an artwork. This section tests the student's ability to describe, interpret, and analyse using appropriate visual language and understanding of the Elements and Principles of Art.
