Students are unable to choose both 11PDES and 11ARP as they cover the same standards
Year 11 Art Practical builds on the skills learned in junior art and focuses on developing ideas in 2D media of drawing, painting, printmaking, and mixed media. The course recognizes, values and contributes to the unique bicultural and multicultural character of Aotearoa. It integrates a wide range of problem-solving skills through looking at the context of established practice and sustained creativity into the future. Students will generate ideas that are influenced by a range of artists from modern and contemporary NZ artists and those from around the world. This course covers practical and thinking skills required for Year 12 and 13 senior art subjects and is a good foundation for the NCEA Level 2 courses in Painting, Design and Photography.
