Students develop foundational skills in artistic techniques while honing their ability to conve personal narratives and ideas through visual means. The curriculum often includes art history studies, exposing students to diverse artistic movements and styles.
Draw like Leonardo, explore etchings and creative photography and what art was like in the 60's.
Much of your senior level art practice will be self-directed as you work through documenting (creative process) of a body of work. As you work you will be recording different methods and using different skills in wet and dry media. You will also be producing a finished piece of work to a high standard that demonstrates your skill (appropriate to cultural conventions).
I love my job and the environment I work in (Opihi College). I accidently fell into teaching by mistake! But I made a pledge that I would keep teaching if I changed a student's view on their education. And here I am at 21 years and still going strong.
All aspects of practical learning.
Recently renovated and cleverly designed to maximise a light and airy indoor/outdoor balance, our Technology buildings share open air patio spaces between the purpose designed classrooms.
