Year 11 Digital Art
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs K. Saunders.
The course structure is designed to promote independent work habits and develop knowledge and skills chosen by our ākonga. This course is divided into two stand-alone units & one optional unit of work all exploring a central theme - Ko wai au? (Who am I?)
- Stand-alone unit #1: 2D Minizine / resolved artwork exploring a local place of historical significance & a place of personal significance. DSLR photography, studio photography, and layout/typography design processes will be used. Ākonga has the option to create a digital moving image minizine (combining video, sound & image stills) for this unit.
- Stand-alone unit #2: Body of related artworks / NCEA panel exploring the whakataukī: 'Ko au te whenua, ko te whenua ko au' - 'I am the land and the land is me' and the concept of Tūrangawaewae. DSLR photography, studio photography, digital illustration, and layout/typography design processes will be used. We will also create artwork for a skateboard during this assessment.
- Optional unit #3: Practice-based Visual Inquiry / Google Slide Presentation that links to the other units of work exploring a local place of historical significance & a place of personal significance. DSLR photography, digital illustration, and layout/typography design processes will be used.
