Level 3 Visual Art

13AP
Subject Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms L. Mrkusic

Recommended Prior Learning

Level 2 Visual Art is strongly recommended or an interview with the HOD

This course engages the students academically and creatively. They will continue to build on their knowledge of art making traditions, extend ideas and clarify outcomes. This course demands a rigorous output of artwork and a high level of commitment to developing a comprehensive body of work that is both conceptual and technically astute. This course at Level Three is teacher guided unlike Level One and Two which is teacher directed. NZQA stipulates a guided course at Level Three as preparation for Tertiary Study.
