L1 Art Painting
Course Description
Visual arts is a subject that allows ākonga (students) to express and develop their creativity, while developing their knowledge and skills. Ākonga create their own artworks while learning about the work of other artists and the cultural and social contexts that these artworks reflect. Ākonga can study Visual Arts to gain qualifications or to explore their interest in art.
This is the first of the NCEA Art courses. It enables ākonga to develop ideas and creative approaches to making artworks in a range of fields. Ākonga’ work is informed by their research of New Zealand and International artists from Māori, Polynesian and European traditions. Ākonga can work towards an individual standard or multiple standards including developing a body of work for the external folio standard.
This year's theme explores portraiture and cultural identity, in a specific setting or space. Students can explore self-portraiture, as well as portraits of family (whaanau) members, posed to include objects of personal significance, patterns/symbols, flora and birds. Cultural identity is part of a person’s identity, relating to nationality, ethnicity, language, values, religion, social class, generation, locality, or any kind of social group that has its own distinct culture.
Contributions and Equipment/Stationery
Students will need a Visual Diary, a set of paintbrushes, a memory stick/USB, pens and pencils.
