Level 3 Painting
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms K. Robson.
This course focuses on the development of ideas through a self-selected and self-researched theme. This course will give you University Entrance if you complete the external Achievement Standard. At this level, you should have good drawing skills and painting abilities.
The main focus of the course is to develop and refine skills in developing ideas that are systematic and evolve over the year to produce original artworks (at least aim to), through researching a theme and through researching relevant established art practices. The theme should be a concept that is based on something like a cultural, political, social, historical, or environmental issue that you have insight or personal views on. Alternatively, the theme could be based on exploring formal properties of art-making.
