Course Statement:

Art Painting is a practical and research-based course that provides a pathway to all further study in the Visual Arts for NCEA.

 Learners will engage in experimentation using a wide range of wet and dry media and visual art processes. Investigating established painting practices and conventions will inform an ongoing body of work which will be presented as a portfolio of practical work.  Students completing this course will develop critical thinking to develop and refine creative ideas which will support their learning in the wider school curriculum.

Topics Covered:

  • Exploring a wide range of media such as paint, inks, pencil, dyes, watercolours.
  • Learning drawing and painting techniques and skills through an investigation of NZ Natural History.
