Level 1 Art Design and Photography

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms V. Carney.

As Design and Photography are specialist Visual Arts subjects, this course is a foundation course for both areas. This is a practical course enabling students to develop their skill sets in design concepts through research, idea development connected to cultural relevance, and visual problem solving.

Students will develop skills and understanding, in both photography and design, of how to manipulate imagery, apply typography, and move from taking to making a photograph. Students draw with a range of media, a camera, and digital applications such as Photoshop and InDesign.

This course is highly recommended for students wanting to study Art Design or Photography at Level 2.

All new NCEA Level 1 Standards are listed however, decisions around next years standards for this course are pending. It is expected you will do one internal and one external per course with a total of 10 Credits.
