What is the folio?
The folio is your external Achievement Standard and is a long term assessment.
The folio is a body of painting work based on a theme and selection of established practice (artist models). The folio is a process that involved you completing a range of artworks over the year exploring a range of ideas. From this you will generate a Systematic Body of Work off resolved photographs to a finished standard laid out photographically printed and taped to board as specified by NZQA.
NZQA has set the specification for the presentation of this achievement standard to the following:
Level 2 (12 credits) 2 A1 board of painting work
Level 3 (14 credits) 3 A1 boards of painting work.

For NCEA students complete a theme of work for the year. This series is presented on a 2 or 3 board folio for the external examination depending on your course level. The level 2 and Level 3 course is more independent that Level 1 with more student choice. The beginning of the year you will have set tasks to complete then you will begin working independently with set checkpoints to meet so you keep up to date with your work.
A broad theme is selected for the years study. Your theme will be based around your personal interests and the accessibility of subject matter. Your subject matter needs to be easily sourced. It must also relate as much as possible to your interests and abilities. By using a theme that personally interests you it allows you to explore a range of approaches, in terms of artistic models, techniques, concepts and materials.
