Year 13 Art For Interest (13ARI)
13ARI Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Ms S. O'Grady.
Art for Interest (ARI) is an alternative to taking the Visual Art pathways. Students taking 12 or 13 ARI cannot take any other 12 or 13 Visual Art subject. It will target those students who
- have not succeeded in Level 1 or 2 art courses OR
- require more time such as SEN students OR
- those not requiring NCEA including International students.
- Students who have attained level credits and wish to enjoy art making
This two-year course will offer similar achievement standards as the ARP pathway, however it will be responsive to the individual needs of students and the pace they will learn at. The course will be focused on making and appreciating art through a thematic approach with integrated assessment which will change each year. Teachers will be making assessment judgements for individual standards from full-year student investigations that include research, drawing conventions and developing ideas across a range of media areas such as drawing, printmaking, painting and sculpture.
Teachers will make judgments on which standards students are most likely to achieve through evidence available to them at different stages of the course. A majority of credits will likely come from internal standards and students can choose to prepare a folio for external standards in consultation with their teacher or complete a resolved work as an extra internal standard
