Art - 10ART - Year 10
The purpose of Year 10 Art is to build upon and expand skills learnt at Year 9. This involves drawing, painting, printmaking and making 3-dimensional objects. The students will learn to do more problem solving (e.g. discovering the best way to mix appropriate colours in drawing and painting and deciding what to select and what to omit) They must illustrate greater independent learning as this is the year that prepares them for success at NCEA Level 1. Overall it is expected that students at Year 10 have a passion for Art and strong self motivation.
