NCEA Level 2 Art - Painting

Students will produce a systematic body of work that synthesizes artistic conventions and regenerates a depth of ideas. This involves critically selecting and integrating methods from established artists and sources to refine and extend their artistic concepts. Emphasizing development 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.
