Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr B. Morrison.

Recommended Prior Learning

To be accepted for this course students must have earned 14 credits from Level 1 Digital Art, or have received HOF approval.


Level 2 Art Design extends and expands on skills learned in Level 1 Digital Art. 

Art Design involves drawing and computer-based learning. Students explore a range of graphic design styles and illustration techniques using a variety of digital tools including Adobe software and drawing tablets. Students have the opportunity to take their work into a variety of final outcomes, including print, digital, laser cutting, and 3D printing. 

The programme for this course is devised by the student, in collaboration with the teacher, around a theme chosen by the student. Students are encouraged to be innovative and explore art-making which is relevant to their own interests. Existing skills are developed and enhanced, by looking at contemporary and traditional artist role models. 

The 12-credit external exam is created during class and is a cumulative display of their year’s work.

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.
