1 Let's Make Art

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs M. Millar.

Learners will explore the Visual Arts through painting, sculpture, and printmaking, producing a practice-based visual inquiry presented as an Artist's Workbook. A finished piece of artwork will be produced for a class exhibition in a prominent local exhibition space. A body of finished experimental artworks will also be completed. Learners will find out more about fine art, what it is, what it can be, and how to get it out to the world. 

Learners need to choose between Let’s Make Art or Photo Design and cannot take both courses.

Recommended Prior Learning

Learning within junior painting & drawing/photo design of the Visual Arts would be an advantage. Consultation with Learning area leader would be required if the above courses haven't been undertaken.

Additional Course Specific Contributions & Equipment/Stationery

Course-related Art Kits are able to be purchased from National Art Supplies. (https://www.naskits.co.nz/kits-for-2023/rolleston-college-2023/) Items may need to be replenished throughout the year depending on learner use. *Prices subject to change for 2024.

While the same items can be purchased separately from other art suppliers, we believe the quality of the items and the fact that the pack is individually labelled, delivered to school and ready for the start of the school year provides excellent value for money and convenience.
