Course Overview
Term 1
Students will engage in a practice-based visual inquiry to explore Aotearoa New Zealand's Māori foundational context and another cultural context, identifying visual and cultural elements of these contexts and recording visual and cultural information about these contexts. Examples of practice-based visual inquiry include: drawing strategies to explore properties such as shape, texture, mass, and colour, diagrams, annotations and detailed views.
Term 2
Students will produce resolved artwork appropriate to established art-making conventions. Through the use of different media and techniques and being informed by established practices students will produce resolved artwork with control appropriate to established art-making conventions.
Term 3
Students will begin to explore Visual Arts processes and conventions to inform their own art-making. Experimenting with processes, materials, and techniques in response to an art-making intention, applying a range of processes, materials, and techniques to produce options for development. This involves refining a range of processes, materials, and techniques through iteration, selecting and reflecting on experimental work to advance an art-making intention.
Term 4
Students are able to create a sustained body of related works in response to an art-making proposition. This involves using processes, materials, and techniques. Editing and selecting a cohesive set of related works in response to an art making proposition and using processes, materials, and techniques with consistency.
