1ART - Level 1 Art

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms D. Maskill.

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. They will use drawing, collage, pen/ink and painting.  Printmaking may be included. This course would also be suitable for students who want to illustrate stories for comics, graphic novels or games. If they want to work digitally then they will need to have their own device.

The course will cover 3 achievement standards with the possibility of 4 for students who are able to complete the body of artworks within the timeframe.  


Students cannot select both Level 1 courses as they use the same standards.
