Visual Arts - Ngā Toi Ataata
Course Description
Visual Arts in Year 13 covers a group of single subjects. The subjects offered are: Painting, Printmaking, and Sculpture. Students can study up to two of these, or three at the discretion of the HOD Art. Students are encouraged to enter the Scholarship examination. Students will develop an understanding of the principles underlying the making of prints and sculptures. They will be examined on their practical knowledge in painting. They will develop knowledge of current processes, procedures, materials, techniques, and conventions.
This will also involve learning the skills of research, generating ideas and developing these ideas in a systematic way through to finished artworks. Students will be encouraged to use contemporary artist models for their own work. Students will be required to produce one external two-panel folio.
