err i think you could take a unit of either...
but i'm not too sure

hey get this: back in the 1960's-70's the art exam consisted of a few hours, a canvas/some paper, some pens/pencils/paints, and a subject. odd, innit?

there was 3u art??? when? where? how ? why? AAAAAAAAARGH dunno if i'd have taken it though. i seriously don't understand half of what goes on in the classroom. i just use my english skills to analyse art works and for my prac i just draw and take photos and it's worked so far.

i dont see the point of doing 3 units of art.. it would hardly make a good contribution to your UAI, and as the extra unit would just be MORE of the same.. not anything different i dont know why anyone would do it? To put more artworks out? To learn about more peroids of art?... If I was going to study art after school id just do 2 units of art and a broad range of other subjects which interest me and can give me a good enough UAI to get into whatever course I wanted.. If you were really keen on doing art in the future you would of already built up quite a resolved portfolio of works by this time....

So in the end NO

I think the third unit was full on theory.i guess it would be like ext history where you choose to study really in depth about sometin. in stead of many case studies for knowlegde of a range of topics.

i reckon it wouldnt be bad for ur UAI if it was competetive like that. i dunno. i prob wouldnt do it. i do enough work with 11 units anyhoo......NO MORE EXTENSION CLASSESS

Actually, I think you could elect for the third unit to be either Critical and Historical Study, or Artmaking.
