NCEA L3 Painting
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs D. Cave-Higgins.
Level 3 Painting - PTG3 - University Entrance and List A approved
This is a course designed for students keen to further develop their existing Painting and general art skills. It is an advanced course where painting skills in media such as acrylic and oil paint are carefully honed towards Merit and Excellence. Students may also choose to upskill in digital painting.
Mixed media and some sculpture are also encouraged as students explore their choice of ideas. Observational and freehand drawing skills extended and students may also wish to draw digitally.
The painting process will support the development of research and higher order thinking skills. Students will choose their own ideas, conceptual premise and theme to explore in this course.

The External, is a portfolio submission worth 14 credits. This 3 panel portfolio is Externally assessed. The planning and successful production of this external submission will allow for 'course endorsement'.
With teacher guidance, every student will produce their own range of ideas and artworks using paint as the primary medium. These artworks will most often reflect interests and aspirations of the student.
Level 3 Painting - A senior student researching and developing ideas in his workbook.
Each folio is unique and the student programme is personalized to the suit the individual. It is their ideas and conceptual journey which must be supported by the kaiako / teacher.
Scholarship, an exam beyond Level 3, is available in this discipline; Painting. Students will 'opt in' and gain regular support and guidance. This is available for anyone who is keen to do what it takes to succeed in a Visual Arts Scholarship submission. We have had many Excellences, Scholarships and Outstanding Scholarships over the recent years. The 'exam' is completed concurrently with the Level 3 years work. Essentially all the gathered workbook information is distilled down to eight A3 pages of inter-connected essence which are submitted in November. (an example page is below)
