Level 2 Painting

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Whaea R. Clemence.

Why Study Painting?

Level two painting is a chance to explore your ideas in the medium of painting alone. However, you can work in a number of ways in this field; traditional (acrylic, watercolours, oils or a mixture) or digital painting. Drawing is a starting point, but you can achieve that in a number of ways too - photocopier methods, frottage, monoprinting, along with pencil or charcoal.

Drawing painting and art making in general train the eye through the hand. It is a completely different part of the brain that is activated and developed when you apply yourself to making art, and it unlocks potential we didn't know existed as a creative maker.

Who can study painting?

Anyone. It is a fairly open entry. It is useful to have level one Art, but not necessary. You must want to make art to do this course. 


Course Overview

Term 1
Developing your kaupapa - what is your painting theme this year? We have four categories that you brainstorm against to develop this. You will learn specific techniques in painting using watercolors, oils, acrylics and digital practices. You should finish the term with 2.1 in painting, worth four internal credits. All work must be documented on your blog.

Term 2
During term two, you begin to develop the series and sequences to develop your kaupapa further. The techniques you have learned in painting from this term and last, fulfill your requirements for 2.2 (four internal credits). All work must be documented on your blog.

Term 3
During this term, you are putting your folio together using the best work from terms one and two on board one and developing board two for your 12 credit externally assessed folio. Photographic work is expected here in order to complete 2.3 (four internal credits) along with all planning pages. All work must be documented on your blog.

Term 4
By the end of week two of this term, your folio (12 external credits) is completed. It will highlight your best work from the year and clearly demonstrate the Kaupapa with skills you have learned. It is assessed by your Art teachers first and check-marked in Wellington by NZQA. Following this, you will have an opportunity to resubmit for your internals if you missed out on them during the course of the year. All work must be documented on your blog.
