Visual Art - Indigenous Exploration (Paint/Print)

This year 10 option course has a 'turangawaewae' focus in connection with Aotearoa whenua. A field trip to the Halswell quarry (or similar depending on the class) is a highlight of the course which will develop skills to flow nicely into Level One Art or Photography. Students will focus on the formal painting process with Aotearoa artists as inspiration. Students will learn how to put visual research pages together and both traditional painting and printmaking techniques using the laser cutter to our best advantage. Students should finish the course with a sellable piece of art work.
