NCEA Level 3 Art History
Course Description
Art History is recommended if you have an interest in the Arts, English, History or Classical Studies. It is also useful if you are considering further tertiary study in any of these areas, as Art History is also a University Entrance approved subject. It is not necessary to have studied Art History at Level 2.
In this course you look at the art and artists who influenced and shaped Early Modernism during the volatile years of 1900-1940. By studying this period you will learn about the power behind visual images.
You will learn to observe, analyse and critically unpick artworks to find the hidden messages, meanings, and even the branding and propaganda that lies behind a work of art. Because so much of history has been lost through written language and many artworks have been preserved, we can read artworks and learn about the details of artists, patrons, science, politics, religion and civic societies.
Looking at historic art works will help you to understand our visual world now.
You will look at the changing ideas and values placed on art works and we will teach you how to research, analyse and write informed discussions in response to artists, artworks and the context in which the work is made.
