ART1: Art

Working on art projects is an opportunity for students to hone their self-management skills, which prepares them for more independent work at Levels 2 and 3. Level 1 Art is relevant for ākonga who are studying a wide range of other subjects where attention to detail, creating and interpreting images, and critical thinking are all important skills. 

In Level 1 Art, Ākonga will develop your research, observational drawing, painting and printmaking skills.

Ākonga will engage in a practice-based visual inquiry that explores an Aotearoa New Zealand Māori context and another cultural context. Then, a variety of art-making mediums will be used to further develop the knowledge acquired and artworks produced throughout this investigation. 

Your work will be assessed through two internal achievement standards and two external achievement standards. 

• Standard 91912 - Use practice based visual inquiry to explore an Aotearoa/NZ Maori context and another cultural context  (internal)
