Year 10 Visual Art
10VAR Course DescriptionVisual Art - Year 10 Option
This is a half year course where students will learn the fundamentals of art through a range of art making genres which can include drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture and design. Students will study a range of international and New Zealand Artists and use this to inform their own ideas to arrive at creative solutions. The aim is to provide students with a broad course that offers a way to extend their art making skills into mediums they may not have previously experienced, such as printmaking, stencil making and spray painting, photography and design.
Topics covered in the course will include drawing, painting, design, colour theory with a digital artwork explored through the use of a laser cutter or digital camera.
This is an introductory foundational course that leads into Level 1 Visual Art Painting and Level 1 Visual Art Design & Photography.
