NCEA Level 2 Fine Art - The Artist Studio
12ARTF Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mr A. Yates.
Recommended Prior LearningIt is important to have studied Level 1 Visual Art Design or at least taken Art at Year 10 to a successful conclusion.
Using allegory and metaphor, you will begin your artistic pursuit of visual splendour. The artist studio has been an alluring mysterious space where the artist is viewed as the avant-garde, a prophet highlighting the future of civilization. You will visually explore a theme and develop a range of inspirational images.
You will develop ideas around a theme and style, and explore a range of drawing techniques within your chosen field of practice (Painting, Printmaking or Sculpture). After developing initial ideas as part of the internal assessments, you will use these ideas as a basis for developing work for your external folio assessment.
