NCEA Level 2 Art - Painting

Students will produce a systematic body of work that synthesizes artistic conventions and regenerates a depth of ideas in either painting or printmaking.  This involves critically selecting and integrating methods of established artists and sources to refine and extend their artistic concepts.  Emphasizing developement within the art-making process, students will engage in editing, selecting, and ordering works to demonstrate progression and evolution.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• Systematic Body of Work: Develop related works forming a series or sequence that illustrates progression and development.
• Synthesis of Conventions: Integrate characteristics and constraints appropriate to painting, adapting them to fit creative contexts.
• In-depth Knowledge Application: Critically select and utilize processes, materials, techniques, and pictorial conventions to achieve intended artistic outcomes.
• Drawing Methods: Utilize various media, techniques, and processes to arrange elements and principles such as line, shape, space, colour, tone, texture, balance, harmony, rhythm, tension, and contrast.

Course Outcome:

By the course's conclusion, students will have developed a refined portfolio that reflects their growth as painters.
