VISUAL ART (SPIN2)

Explore your creative ideas while building your art-making skills and knowledge. Throughout the year, you’ll generate art based on the theme of ‘Taonga  - treasure, anything prized’, to which you will bring your own personal interpretation. You will start to think and work like an artist: conducting research by looking at artist models, as well as drawing and experimenting with a range of materials and techniques in order to create resolved artworks. 

This class will be extremely rewarding if you are someone who likes to experiment and create. It will give you the foundation you need for Q2 and Q3 Visual Art courses with Level 1 and 2 NCEA credits on offer. 

TERM 1:  To explore by investigating (photography, drawing) materials, processes, techniques and conventions.

TERM 2: To focus by planning artworks in response to a range of stimuli (printmaking, painting).

TERM 3: To generate by creating artworks which communicate ideas (sculpture).

TERM 4: To refine by resolving visual ideas and extending art-making skills (mixed media).
