Year 10 Art

10 Art

Year 10 builds on the skills covered in Year 9, 8 and 7 Art.

Students are able to extend their practical Art skills in the areas of drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture and design.

Elements of art history are also introduced, developing literacy skills and an understanding of how and why artworks were/are made.

Students learn to develop practical art skills, and to generate and extend ideas in order to communicate successfully their intentions visually. They have the opportunity to respond to and analyse artworks and to research established practice.

This course is highly recommended for students wishing to take Art, Design or Photography at NCEA Level 1, 2 and 3.

Open entry to all Year 10 students. This course caters to both academic and practical students. However students should have already demonstrated self-motivation, a hard-working attitude and a desire to aim for excellence. The ability to think creatively is essential.

This course is not a pre-requisite for Visual Arts/Photography/Design, although highly recommended if you intend to take the Arts path in the Senior School and priority will be given to those students who have completed this course.

Course costs:       Art kit (take home art materials) – $30-40
