Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mx R. Goldstein.

Recommended Prior Learning

This is an open entry course, there are no prerequisites.

This course is about discovering and making artworks. This is a very practical, hands-on course. 

Students explore combinations of art areas that include drawing, collage, painting, printmaking, and mixed media, then extend their art into three-dimensional work. 

Students follow a programme, but essentially create their own theme and developmental focus. This means they choose what they would like to draw, paint, print or make. 

Student work out a theme to base their work around for the year.

Students are encouraged to be innovative, study artist role models for inspiration, and explore art-making which is relevant to their own interests. 

There are two internal assessments and two external assessments available. They are worth 5 credits each.

Costs
The Board of Trustees has again asked to opt into the Ministry of Education donation scheme. Doing so resulted in the ability to waive student fee donations. Kaiapoi High School aims to deliver quality educational courses over and above those that which is funded by the Ministry. It is likely the School will opt into the donation scheme for 2024, however parental contribution for the costs of trips and activities where participation is optional, and/or components not covered by the Government grant, may be requested. We appreciate the financial support our families make to the School.
