Our Objectives for L4

The Level 4 Art Program is designed with specific objectives that guide students in their artistic journey:

Confidence and Independence: Encourage students to take ownership of their artistic journey, fostering a sense of self-reliance in their work. This objective aims to empower students to express their unique perspectives and ideas confidently.
Technical Skill Development: Equip students with drawing and painting techniques to enhance their artistic capabilities. This includes mastering various mediums and understanding the intricacies of art-making processes.
Observational Skills: Train students to perceive and interpret tonal and colour values in their environment, enriching their artwork. Developing keen observational skills is crucial for creating compelling and realistic art.
Composition Mastery: Teach students the principles of composition, including object placement, light intensity, point of view, and colour choices. A strong composition is essential for effective visual storytelling.

In-Depth Study: Provide opportunities for students to delve deeply into a chosen subject or technique, promoting mastery and expertise. This encourages students to explore their interests in greater detail, fostering a deeper understanding of their chosen medium.
