2011 Art

Year 10 Art This year the students will explore the ideas of a range of contemporary NZ and International artist models. They will experiment with developing ideas and strengthening their art making skills in preparation for NCEA level 1.

Term one This term the students will begin focussing on specific artworks in order to gain understanding of the way an artwork is developed. They will then be expexted to develop their own artwork using the artist model as motivation and inspiration. The Artist model for this term is MICHEAL TUFFERY (Samoan and NZ connections). The artwork beining studied is " Hibiscus and Mou'u" a wall installation made from wood and paint. The students are expected to make a brief analysis of the elements contained within the artwork. They are then asked to create their own work inspired by the way their artist model has worked. The design process begins by doing observational drawings of the subject matter they wish to include in their installation. ( see below )
