Level 3 Painting

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Whaea R. Clemence.

Why Study Painting?

Level three 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.

Art Painting is a University Entrance course. That means 14 credits earned here will be one-third of your main university course credit requirements covered. If you are good at it, then it is sensible to use it to help you gain that extra qualification layer.

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 will work on 3.1 (research) and 3.2 (using compositional and technical principles) simultaneously over term one. All work must be documented on your blog.

Term 2
During term two, you begin to develop the rest of the items you will need to fulfill your kaupapa. Your practical work will be geared towards achieving 3.3 this term and beginning your external folio (3.4) worth 14 credits this year. All work must be documented on your blog.

Term 3
During this term, you are putting your folio together using the best work from your series and sequences on board one and developing new series and sequences that explore and evolve your board one work. You are narrowing down your own visual language here. Photographic work is expected here in order to complete 3.3 (four internal credits) along with your design work. All work must be documented on your blog.

Term 4
The externally assessed folio (3.4 worth 14 credits) is due in week five of this term. Following this, there is a short window to resubmit any internal standards you might not have achieved.
