Introduction

What you will do

There are three tasks within AR1002:

These are set out in the AR1002 study plan.

Achievement standard criteria
You will work towards the Visual Art Achievement Standard 1.2, 90914 version 1, 4 credits.

This Achievement Standard requires you to:

  • use drawing as the main way to generate and develop ideas
  • use art processes, materials and techniques from suitable artist models to produce a series of drawings.

Your work must demonstrate your ability to:

  • use wet and dry media with control
  • accurately record information from subject matter
  • use a range of drawing and painting techniques
  • create effective compositions.

For more information refer to the current achievements standards on the NZQA website or you can download a copy using the following link:

Assessment conditions

  • This must be your own work. You may refer to any part of the resources to help you do it.
  • In your final submission you may use any of the work you have completed from any of the four tasks.
  • There is no time limit for this activity.
  • Print out the cover sheet from the PDF file and sign it to verify that the work is your own.

How to complete the work

  • You are required to send your work to your teacher for feedback once you complete each of the four tasks.
  • Each task has a minimum quantity of work that you must complete. You can attempt tasks more than once in order to demonstrate a higher level of skill.
  • Read each task completely before starting on your work. Look carefully at the examples in the gallery and at your chosen artist models.
  • This assessment will take about 50 hours.
  • For definitions of various art terms see the glossary.
  • When you see this tip icon there is something extra to note.
