Creativity is essential in a global economy that needs a workforce that is knowledgeable, imaginative and innovative. Making and participating in the Arts aids the development of skills that will be necessary for our ākonga (students') futures. Leading people in any field are those who can think creatively and innovatively.
Creativity is cited by business leaders as the top leadership competency for the future. Studying the arts teaches determination and resilience – qualities useful to any career. It teaches us to experiment and be curious, that it is okay to fail, to not get things right the first time and to have the courage to start again. Not to mention, it is lots of fun and always hands-on!
In Year 10 Art ākonga learn to work independently and collaboratively to construct meanings and produce art works. Ākonga learn through making practical work and the study of others’ art. They learn to make objects and images, to research, source and develop ideas, and to communicate and interpret meaning. Year 10 Art focuses on the concepts of creativity and connection.
Learning encompasses the four Visual Arts Curriculum Strands: Practical Knowledge, Developing Ideas, Communicating and Interpreting, and Understanding the Visual Arts in Context.
We can't wait to have you join us in Year 10 Art, to help you develop exciting skills, to learn and think about important ideas, and to see you grow as amazing creative young people. If you have any questions, please connect.

Year 9 art

Pathway
This is a half year course that runs for two terms. It is a good choice for learners who like to engage with physical art materials and creativity. Students who are more interested in digital creativity are encouraged to consider taking our other semester course, called Year 10 Art Digital Creatives. In Year 10 Art you will build on skills introduced in Year 9 Art. Course content covers: drawing, painting, printmaking, some 3D work and the development of creative thinking. The full year 10 Art course covers a wider range of art processes, media use, extended skill development, and covers more depth. If you want to continue to study Art in Year 11 or beyond, we encourage you to take the full year 10 Art course, but both courses can be a foundation for Year 11 Arts courses.
Assessment Information
Assessment will be based on students' portfolios of finished art works and art journals.Some tasks will involve note taking and research. This can be documented in a range of ways.
Learning will be via a combination of individual and group work activities and tasks.
Students will be assessed at Level 5 of the Art curriculum document.
