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.
