11VII

Year 11 Visual Imaging

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms P. Hansen.


What will I learn?  You will participate in a wide range of practical activities in illustration, design, photography and sculpture.  You will learn to use Adobe software to create design outcomes.  You will research and understand traditional and contemporary art by New Zealand and overseas artists and apply their ideas. You will learn to communicate personal ideas to prepare a two panel portfolio which is externally moderated.

We highly recommended having a personal device as it greatly increases the students opportunity for success as they are able to support work done in class with ongoing homework. If you are thinking of purchasing a device for next year to be able to be used in these digital courses, the Adobe suite will unfortunately not run on a chrome book and works best with Apple software. We would recommend a mac book, however, the department strives to make sure resources are accessible for all students during school time.
