ARTTM9

Year 9 Art: Tech My Art (2)

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs M. Mitchell.

This is a semester long course and will be offered in semester 2. 

Big Question: How has modern technology impacted art? How do you show your culture in art?

This course aims to explore ideas around culture and the relationship between technology and art. We will explore culture and pop culture and develop skills in painting, hand drawing, as well as photography and computer generated designs. 

Main projects include expressing your own culture by creating a visual outcome in the form of a Pou, and designing and making a Munny doll inspired by culture or pop culture. Other projects include drawing and photography skills. Learning art skills leads to pursuing a career in creative fields or simply wanting to develop your creativity and problem-solving skills.

Students may study Art for one semester or two semesters. We recommend a full year course for those interested in the Senior Art Pathway.
