1ARP - Level 1 Art Photography/Design
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms L. Buckley.
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 and Design using digital and traditional artmaking processes.
Students will choose design and/or photography to produce a body of work based on appropriate artist techniques. Photography projects will involve students taking their own photos and manipulating them through digital and handmade processes. eg photomontage. Design projects will involve student's creating visual content to communicate ideas, combining image and text-based processes in a digital format.
It would be beneficial for students to bring their own device and camera if they have one.
This course leads to senior Design and Photography.
Students can not do both Level 1 courses as they access the same standards.
The course will use Te Whare Tapa Wha /Health and Wellbeing as a foundation for exploring their own and a Te Ao Māori context.
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.
