Through art, architecture and sculpture we learn about human nature, religion, values, the way people lived in the past, how society has changed and why; as well as moving us through the beauty and majesty or challenging ideas that is possible when visionaries pick up a paintbrush, pencil or chisel.
The course is based upon a study of art, architecture and sculpture in these areas of study: Aspects of Gothic Art 1120–1420, Towards Modernism in European Art 1780–1900, and Art in Aotearoa and the Pacific 1800–1950.
It is fantastic – medieval castles, the North African exoticism of Delacroix, swirling imagery by Van Gogh, the grandeur of the Eiffel Tower; and the beauty of traditional Maori and Polynesian art along with paintings by early NZ artists such as Goldie and Heaphy.
The course involves four internal (16 credits) and one external (4 credits) achievement standards.
Each Achievement Standard is worth 4 credits with a total of 20 possible credits in the year.
