Year 9 Visual Art

Year 9 Visual Art students experience a range of skills to give them a taste of the wider Visual Arts programme at Tararua College. Seen here is a sculpture unit. Students draw sea shells and then make them. It is very interesting seeing art transform from a 2D drawing into a 3D sculpture.

Year 10 Visual Art

Year 10 is the year when students are able to choose Visual Art as a full year option. The course is broken up into two parts. The first half of the year students are introduced to many different art making processes and media. They experiment with a few different styles including doodle art, street art, still life and surrealism. The second half of the year is dedicated to preparing students for NCEA Level One and this is when students are challenged to apply their skills to more in depth studies that create a body of work that is related to a specific theme or concept.
