Shelley Ryde Title:Approaches to Painting & Printmaking for NCEA levels 1 to 3
OUTLINE• The process of working from resource material & research to explore methods, processes, procedures & techniques will be discussed & the role of drawing as a thinking & working process at the different levels & in the fields of painting & Printmaking & the use of different thinking skills in art making will be examined in depth.• The thinking strategies that are used when examining artworks as models for learning will be also be addressed. Models used as exemplars underpin much of the learning in the Visual Arts & by developing an understanding of the thinking behind a work of art students are able to extend their own thinking & vocabulary.• The workshop will also look at course planning, sample programmes, the use of a range of materials, techniques & processes & offer some ways of linking these to pictorial issues, artist models & contemporary practice.• The presentation will also examine standards based assessment & will discuss examples of work at different levels & at different standards of achievement.
APPROACHES TO TEACHING LEVEL 1 PAINTING & PRINTMAKING1.1 This achievement standard involves researching art and artworks from Mäori and European traditions to make comment, using art terminology, on art and artworks in relation to their local or contemporary contexts. As such, it aims to acknowledge the bicultural nature of New Zealand art and society.
Level 1 2005RESEARCH & RELATED STUDIES 1.1 Students will demonstrate their ability to:1.

1.2 USE DRAWING PROCESSES & PROCEDURES Students are introduced to a range of materials & media & are given tasks that identify pictorial issues & set specific problems such as selection of viewpoints, working with warm colours over a cool ground (complementaries) & exploration of positive & negative compositions with wet & dry media. In these examples by one student the requirements for the standard are met with facility & understandingThis achievement standard involvesrecording information from subject matterusing a variety of drawing media,techniques and conventions, andcomposing elements or forms for a varietyof art-making purposes.
