NCEA Level 1 Art: Design & Photography
At Level 1 you can only choose one Visual Arts course.
Level 1 Art: Design & Photography is a practical course exploring digital photography and design and is suitable for students who have not previously taken Art. You will explore ideas, technical processes and artist models, while expanding your design and photography visual vocabulary.
Across the year you will create a large body of work, linked together with a chosen theme. You will learn to use a digital SLR camera to express yourself and use your images as a resource base for an exploration of design ideas. The darkroom will also be utilised to create a series of work using black and white photography processes.
You will develop skills using the Adobe Creative Suite software and use the design process to create solutions to design problems. You will also look at established design and photography artists to interpret how and why art is made.
This course helps students develop core thinking skills across a wide range of cross-curricular activities using digital media.
The creative and technical techniques covered in this programme will be directly beneficial
for NCEA Level 2 Visual Art subjects - Photography, Design and Art History.
