NCEA Level 3 Art - Paint
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr J. Manuel.
Students investigate the work of many different artists to learn and understand the ideas and skills required to produce works in a similar style.
We experiment with artwork in a general course in preparation for the following disciplines; Painting, Printmaking, Sculpture, Photography or Design. Skills in Photography can also be applied to any of these disciplines. Freehand or computer drawing skills are required to plan the artwork. After consultation with the teacher students plan a course of study based on 3-5 different artists to plan and produce finished works in their selected discipline for the External Portfolio.

Disclaimer
Rosmini College's timetable is student-driven and a new timetable is generated each year based on student subject selection. Unfortunately, while we do our best to avoid them, timetabling clashes may still occur and a few students may be required to choose an alternative subject option.
The 2025 timetable, including the number of classes in each subject and staffing allocations, is created based on student selections made in 2024. Because of this, changing subjects at the beginning of 2025 may not be possible. Please, make your subject choices carefully.
