Practical Art - Painting, Printmaking and Photography. This foundation course provides a body of knowledge to further enhance developing pathways through providing knowledge and processes that leads into different levels of tertiary education. This may include any of the specific visual arts but also include architecture, photography, graphic design, fashion, film, signage, hairdressing and many other different aspects that may be followed through at a tertiary level.
A practical course involving research, drawing, painting and printmaking. Students will work from artist models, study aspects of bi-cultural features within the visual arts and start to develop their own skills, ideas and styles. The external submission is in the form of a two panel folio.
​Students may be expected to attend a class trip to Onetahua Marae for the first unit, and also to Nelson in order to learn from top national folio exemplars

Painting offers a one-year thorough course with a variety of approaches. There is both guided and individual study of traditional and contemporary methods and ideas. Students apply their understanding of painting through the development of their own work on a theme. The external submission is in the form of a two-panel folio, which if successfully completed to Merit or Excellence carries an endorsement in this subject. The modular range of Semester One and Semester Two 4-credit standards include one where students can produce a resolved work for a particular traditional or contemporary purpose e.g. an animation, street art, a mural, mask making. The media choice for this is not limited to painting

Printmaking offers a one-year thorough course with a variety of approaches. There is both guided and individual study of traditional and contemporary methods and ideas. Students apply their understanding of printmaking through the development of their own work on a theme. The external submission is in the form of a two-panel folio, which if successfully completed to Merit or Excellence carries an endorsement in this subject. 

Photography offers a full-year thorough course in both black and white and colour photography. There is both guided and individual study of traditional and contemporary methods and ideas. Students apply their understanding in digital format through the development of their own work on a theme towards the external folio. The external submission is in the form of a two-panel folio, which if successfully completed to Merit or Excellence carries an endorsement in this subject. All equipment is provided, however, access to a single lens reflex digital camera with manual control is an advantage.
