Starting in early Term 2, students will meet regularly to discuss the requirements of the Art History Scholarship NCEA examination.

This examination has three written response sections which are assessed on the quality of: 

  • visual analysis and critical thinking, 
  • integration of a highly developed knowledge base,
  • logical development of written ideas.

Scholarship meetings provide verbal and written opportunities to practise these skills and to extend students' interpretations and appreciation of the complexities of artworks from any time period.
