ARP101

Level 1 Art Practical 101

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs S. Perera.

Art 101 Practical
This course focuses on teaching and extending both traditional and contemporary art making techniques. This includes drawing, painting and printmaking. With reference to works by national and international artists, students will create a related series of drawings, paintings and prints in which they are encouraged to develop their own compositions using their choice of subject matter. They will have the opportunity to explore either a 'Fantasy' or 'Truth' based topic of their choice. Truth based topics could include current or historical events and issues such as popular culture, social/global issues, or identity and their ‘sense of place’ in our cultural milieu.  Fantasy topics could be derived from favourite books, movies or computer games  

This course may lead on to Level 2 Visual Art Painting, Printmaking, Design and Photography. These 4 disciplines continue as separate subjects in Level 3 for University Entrance.

Students are able to either 101ARP Practical and/or 101ARD Digital
