ART for INTEREST
WELCOME TO 12/13ARI
Art for Interest (ARI) is an alternative to taking the Visual Art pathways. Students taking 12 or 13 ARI cannot take any other 12 or 13 Visual Art subject. It will target those students who have not succeeded in Year 11 or 12 ARP, do not have prerequisite subjects or require more time such as SEN students and those not requiring NCEA including International students.
This two-year course will offer similar achievement standards as the other arts subjects pathways, however it will be responsive to the individual needs of students and the pace they will learn at.
The course will be focused on making and appreciating art through a thematic approach which will change each year, and teachers will be making assessment judgements for individual standards from full-year student investigations that include research, drawing conventions and developing ideas evidence, across a range of media areas.
Teachers will make judgment's on which standards students are most likely to achieve through evidence available to them at different stages of the course. A majority of credits will likely come from internal standards and students can choose to prepare a folio for external standards in consultation with their teacher.
WARM UPS...
