Course Information
What Knowledge Will I Develop?
By the end of Term 1 each student will have been guided to select a personal theme. They will learn how to research, develop and extend ideas in
creative ways in their art workbooks, and by making finished art works for their portfolio. We will look at the works of a wide range of artists from the past
and the present as inspiration to extend students' own ideas and skills. Students will explore ideas, experiment with media, make finished art works. You learn to use imagination, observation, research and practical investigation to develop your ideas with increasing depth. Aakonga will have the opportunity
to showcase their work, to participate in exhibitions, competitions and trips to galleries or other learning sites. By the end of this course, they will have a
stronger understanding of what their personal creative strengths are. They will know whether they would like to specialise in Painting, Printmaking, or both in Year 12.
