1ARP

1ARP - Level 1 Art Photography/Illustration

Course Description

The course will use Te Whare Tapa Wha /Health and Wellbeing as a foundation for students' artwork.  

They will investigate how cultures tell stories and communicate ahurea tuakiri  (One's own cultural identity) through their art. Students will learn how to think critically and develop ideas while building their practical knowledge. Students will explore Photography, Design and Illustration. Digital and traditional artmaking processes can be used. 

 Students will choose either character design or photography to produce a body of work based on appropriate artist techniques. Character design involves illustrating a story that includes characters, environments and storyboarding for comics, graphic novels or gaming concepts. (Animation may be offered if appropriate) Photography projects will involve students taking their own photos and manipulating them through digital and handmade processes. eg photomontage.

This course leads to senior Design and Photography.

Students can not do both Level 1 courses as they access the same standards.

Te Whare Tapa Whā was developed by leading Māori health advocate Sir Mason Durie in 1984. The model describes health and wellbeing as a wharenui/meeting house with four walls. 

These walls represent taha wairua/spiritual wellbeing, taha hinengaro/mental and emotional wellbeing, taha tinana/physical wellbeing and taha whānau/family and social wellbeing. Our connection with the whenua/land, forms the foundation. 

When all these things are in balance, we thrive. When one or more of these is out of balance our wellbeing is impacted.

 

Recommended Prior Learning

None. However, students who have completed year 9 and 10 Art/Design would be well prepared for this course.
