Year 10 Visual Art
Subject Description
Teacher in Charge: Ms K. Willcox.
Students in Year 10 Art will develop their Design skills and processes and create a series of Posters on Adobe Photoshop. In this semester course, students will compile photographs of their personal interests as research and transform these images into digital collages. This work will go towards a single folio board that will introduce students to the art-making processes used in NCEA Art subjects.
In the second half of the course, students will learn practical drawing skills. Students will generate work based on their school context. Ink, a variety of dry media, paint and collage will be explored in order to give students a wide-range of media to explore and develop their own work. Student should choose Visual Art if they enjoy thinking outside the box, problem solving and experimentation.
