L3 Art History

Subject Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr D. Henderson.

Art History at L3 is a complimentary subject for any of the practical Art subjects. It is a theoretical, academic course and you must like writing! There is a good deal of wider reading, writing, viewing and discussion of Artworks. 

Students study a time period in Italy which looks at the rebirth of Art and ideas of the classical world of Greece and Rome and explore the world of Mahi Toi using  local practising artists. Students will critically analyse style, meaning and context of artworks including paintings, sculpture and architecture. The knowledge and skills gained can be applied to tertiary study and careers, particularly in the fields of Art, Architecture and Design.

 The time period studied for exams is: Late Renaissance to Mannerism. For the internals we will be exploring Mahi Toi (Maori Art),Modernist Art and Feminist Art. 

Internal Standards: There are three assignments of very different natures all worth 4 credits each. These are allocated as one per term, and reflect different research and thinking skills.

External Standards: One two-hours examination, encompassing:
4 credits for Meaning
4 credits for Style
All or some of these assessments can be taken. 

Scholarship: Scholarship is offered for students who complete work at ‘Merit’ level or above. Additional group tutorials will be offered by specialist staff from Term 3.

Open entry from any level 2 subject.
