Te toi whakairo, ka ihiihi, ka wehiwehi, ka aweawe te ao katoa.
The arts are powerful forms of expression that recognise, value, and contribute to the unique bicultural and multicultural character of Aotearoa New Zealand, enriching the lives of all New Zealanders. The arts have their own distinct languages that use both verbal and non-verbal conventions, mediated by selected processes and technologies. Through movement, sound, and image, the arts transform people’s creative ideas into expressive works that communicate layered meanings.
This course offers a combination of external and internal assessment

Painting encourages self expression and creativity. It helps build confidence and a sense of individual identity while developing critical thinking to interpret the world around us.
In this course you will develop your understanding of art practice by completing a meaningful and comprehensive body of artworks in the field of painting.
Students develop a sequence of drawings, technical studies and completed works based on their personal choice of theme, developing their ideas to show an understanding of art making conventions in painting.
Your work will be assessed through two internal achievement standards and one external achievement standard.
Standard AS91311 - Use drawing methods to apply knowledge of conventions appropriate to painting (internal)
Standard AS91316 - Develop ideas of drawings appropriate to established painting practice in a related series (internal)
Standard AS91321 - Produce a systematic body of work (portfolio) that shows understanding of art making conventions and ideas within painting (external)
Additional Optional Costs: Students are expected to have their own kit of brushes, pencils, paints. This can be used from previous years and topped up when needed. Full packs and materials are available from the college.
