Year 10 Art: The Artist's Eye
ARTEYE Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mrs M. Mitchell.
Recommended Prior LearningThis course is suitable for students who are interested in taking art for NCEA Level 1. You will need good art skills and willingness to challenge yourself to improve your art and develop your ideas.
BIG QUESTION: Is the intention of the artist more or less important than the interpretation of the person who is experiencing the art?
This is a full year practical course aimed at developing a strong foundation for NCEA Level 1 Art.
You will explore art ideas, technical processes and artist models, while expanding your drawing and painting visual vocabulary. You will think about questions like why art is made and how it is interpreted by others.
Across the year you will learn 2 and 3 dimensional art-making techniques and explore your individual ideas or your own cultural contexts. Drawing is taught as the basis of most projects and will help lead you to create individualized artworks and elevate the quality of your art. You will be encouraged to develop ideas creatively, experiment, take risks, and be inspired by the world around you.
