Learning outcomes

Visual arts, levels 1–4

Understanding the arts in context

During this programme we will learn about printmaking and artists who make art inspired by many different things in their country.

Developing ideas

During this programme we will be inspired by printmaking and artists inspired by their country. This will help us think about our home and country and things that may inspire us to make an artwork about it.

Developing practical knowledge

During our pre-visit lessons we will learn about the different steps in printmaking and the kinds of materials and tools that are used. We will also use a variety of art materials while making our artwork at Te Tuhi.

Communicating and interpreting

During our visit we will share our ideas and thoughts about the art we see and make. We will listen to how others have created their art.

Social sciences

Identity, culture and organisation / place and environment

During the pre-visit exercises students will have the opportunity to learn and think about their community, home and country and the relationship they have with their community, home and country.
