Subject Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms L. Mrkusic.

 




Mixed Media observational studies by Level One students 2023




The thematic content changes each year to make it meaningful and relevant to the cohort coming in. The 3 term course embraces Te Ao Maori and Pacific Art and references contemporary NZ Artist Models. Skills developed during the Level 1 course will be applied to exploration, experimentation, the generation of work, development of ideas and technical control of media. Focus on exploration and experimentation is a big feature of the new NCEA changes to facilitate authentic learning. There is no longer such a big emphasis on the production of finished art works.

Level 2 Visual Art extends idea development from Level 1. Students study artistic conventions and apply the new knowledge to their own work. They learn to sequence of a body of work to create a related series. Both provide a foundation upon which to generate, develop and synthesise new work for the external portfolio.
