Level 2 Painting (PTG2) - This is a full year course and is NCEA approved.
It provides skills and understanding suitable for Level 2 Painting and as a precursor for Level 3 Painting. To endorse in Painting, students must complete the 12-credit portfolio.
This is a course designed for students keen to develop their Painting and general art skills. Many students will choose to extend painting skills in media such as acrylic and oil paint, while others look to upskill in digital painting.
Printmaking, including woodcut and engraving, may also be offered in this course.
Observational and freehand drawing skills extended and students may also wish to draw digitally.
The painting process will support the development of research and thinking skills.
Students will choose their own ideas and themes to explore in this course.
In PTG2, a 12 credit - 2 panel folio will be produced.
The planning and successful production of the external folio will allow for 12 external credits to be completed and 'course endorsement'.
With teacher guidance, every student will produce their own range of ideas and artworks. It will often reflect their interests and aspirations.
