Level 1 Painting
11PAI Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Ms K. Robson.
In this class you will learn different techniques in drawing, painting and colour mixing to improve your skills and understanding of the media. You will also learn how to develop ideas in composition (arranging things on your paper/canvas) through looking at experts (New Zealand artists). To strengthen our composition ideas, we will also learn about our local area of Kelston and West Auckland as well as out own personal history (whakapapa). Our work will focus on our identity (tuakiri ahurea). You will complete 4 projects based around this theme; research, skills based, artists based which will all support the final project that focuses on creating our finial ideas through a series of paintings. This subject can lead into Level 2 Painting, Design, DVC and Photography. This course is also important if students want to study Art and Design based degrees or want to make their career in a creative industry.
