Level 1 Art

Visual Arts is not only an art form, but it is a way of seeing the world. Experience the new Year 11 Art course where students will learn to respond to and examine their own world. In this course, students learn to work independently to construct meaning, produce artwork, and respond to and value others’ feedback and criticism. Students will be given the opportunity to visit local historical sites and develop outcomes that reflect on and respond to Aotearoa New Zealand’s unique history. Visual Arts students will learn and develop many skills in art-making, using a wide range of processes through drawing (observational and expressive), painting, printmaking, collage, mixed media and basic digital photography. This course will be a combination of internally and externally assessed opportunities in the form of visual workbooks and a portfolio.
