Year 11 6ARP - Painting and Drawing (NCEA L1)
Course Option Description
Head of Learning Area (HOLA): Mrs A. Price.
Why this course:
This course enables students to gain a taste of what the study of painting and drawing entails at the senior level. In completing this course, students will gain the skills required for success in Level 2 Painting (7ARP).
Research suggests that art education is important in developing thought processes and perceptual awareness which is helpful in developing creative thinking.
Course information:
The year beginS with a personal investigation into a place where we stand and belong (turangawaewae). Students will be encouraged to source subject matter and objects to extend their ideas. Exploration of drawing and painting techniques will be a focus and will provide a framework with which to generate artworks.
Students will be exposed to a variety of established contemporary and traditional painters, printers and craft artist models to ensure their work is personalised and their own ideas can be extended in new and exciting directions.
This course is constructed to explore culture and past histories. The first part of the year will focus primarily on the internal Achievement Standards in drawing, painting and printmaking. As the year progresses students are encouraged to experiment with different media as they extend their ideas. They will build up a substantial workbook and create a body of work which will generate their External assessment (one folio panel, A1 size). The workbook and folio will be collated and assessed at the end of Term 3.
Expect a fun-filled year of research and experimentation in developing picture making skills. Students who are passionate about creativity and enjoy working in all art fields should consider this course.

Level 2 Art Design (7ARD), Level 2 Art Painting (7ARP) and Level 2 Art Photography (7FOT).
