Visual arts is a subject that allows students to express and develop their creativity, while developing their knowledge and skills. Students create their own artworks while learning about the work of other artists and the cultural and social contexts that these artworks reflect. Students can study visual arts to gain qualifications or to explore their interest in art.
This is the first of the NCEA art courses. It enables students to develop ideas and creative approaches to making artworks in a range of fields. Students’ work is informed by their research of New Zealand artists from Māori, Polynesian and European traditions. Students can work towards an individual standard or multiple standards including developing a body of work for the external folio standard.
