7ARP

Year 12 7ARP – Art Painting (NCEA L2)

Course Option Description

Head of Learning Area (HOLA): Mrs A. Price.

Why this course: 
This course leads to Level 3 art subjects and, thereafter, the opportunity to apply for polytechnic or university visual art courses such as art/architecture/design (graphics).

Any students considering tertiary study in the visual arts, architecture or design courses are recommended to take at least one art course at Level 2. Further, research suggests that art education is important for developing thought processes and perceptual awareness which is helpful in developing creative thinking. 

Course information:  
In this year students are given the opportunity to choose painting in further depth. Students have the opportunity to study and produce selected art methods and practices. They will become familiar with ways in which artists treat subject matter and ideas. This course offers students a more personal and in depth study in their exploration of subject matter and media. In preparation for Level 3 Painting and students will:

  • Explore and develop methods of working in painting.
  • Develop techniques in producing art work.
  • Explore within their work a study of various methods used by artists (subject matter/ideas/media).
  • Analyse and interpret artworks using various perspectives.

This course leads to:
