Description Students can elect to do extra art in Year 10 to extend their core art studies. This is recommended preparation for NCEA Art. The approach to the subject has changed from the idea that a student must have a natural ability and talent, to an emphasis on an interested student learning art skills and techniques. In this way, he will develop his understanding and confidence to produce his own art work. There is a greater emphasis on knowing about art. There is room for personal expression, but all students must work within the set prescription and be prepared to be guided by the Art teachers. Assessment Major projects and examinations.
