Course Description

NCEA Level 3 Painting (3PAI)

Course theme: Observations - an exploration of contemporary painting practice

Level 3 Painting students explore a wide range of contemporary painting and drawing practices. Students will explore, develop, extend and regenerate a wide range of ideas and refine their fine painting skills. It is a course for students who have achieved  Level 2 Painting and want to further refine and expand their painting skills and their deeper thinking and compositional skills. Students are expected to work in new ways and undertake experimentation, engage in research and artist analysis to help further develop and regenerate their ideas.  

Level 3 Painting leads on to pathways within the Creative Industries, Design and Visual Arts. Further study in Fine Arts, Design or Architecture will lead to rewarding career outcomes.

  • Have opportunities to engage and experiment with a wide range of artistic expressions and genres in a safe supportive environment.
