Visual Art
Students will experience Visual Art through a variety of hands-on tasks using different media and techniques like drawing, painting and digital, as they engage in activities, quizzes, and videos to learn about artists/art concepts. The lessons will be based on themes, such as ‘Portrait’, ‘Animals’ and on student input. We will also explore ‘online creative tools’!
The lessons are based on the NZ Curriculum for Visual Art and students will gradually build up a rich repertoire of ‘Art Language’ and practical knowledge.
Web Design
Students will try their hand at web design through learning, then applying, the principles of web design. Authentic design tasks help students to understand how they can develop successful sites on a number of web design platforms such as Google Sites and Wix.
