Visual Art - Year 10

CGHS —

The year 10 course is a fun course that is designed to extend ākonga (students) creativity within visual arts and thoroughly prepare them for NCEA Level 1 Art. Ākonga explore an exciting range of artmaking practices throughout the course such as sculpture with clay, photography, design, painting and printmaking and are encouraged to take risks, experiment and develop their own personal style.

Ākonga's critical thinking, collaborative skills and creative abilities are fostered throughout the course in the experimentation and exploration of media and ideas in the production of artworks.

Digital skills are developed further with ākonga having access to the full Adobe Creative Suite, where Photoshop skills are used in the creation of digital artworks. 

This course provides a sound foundation for NCEA Level 1 Art and later studies in Architecture, Industrial, Fashion, Typographic, Interior or Graphic Design, Advertising, Digital Photography, Fine Arts and Art History at tertiary level.

Being able to think creatively will be key to survival in today's rapidly advancing technological landscape. With no right or wrong answers, visual art akonga are constantly taking risks, problem solving, critically thinking and being innovative.
