At Level 3, students can choose TWO Visual Arts courses.

Teacher in Charge: Rogan James (JMS)

In this practical course, students will expand on knowledge gained in 02PHO to generate, analyse, clarify and regenerate ideas towards the production of an NCEA Portfolio board for the external standard.

COURSE COSTS

Students will be expected to pay a course contribution as part of this course.  This covers the cost of specialist take-home materials, and the amount will be confirmed in 2026.

Students will have access to digital SLR cameras and lenses during class time, but having their own camera would be an advantage.
