You need to do practical visual inquiry work—sketching, observing, and recording—to explore Māori visual culture and another cultural context that matters to you. You must show that you can identify and document visual and cultural elements using art-making processes like drawing, annotation, and different materials. This is about enquiry and understanding, not making a finished artwork.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
- ·Identify visual and cultural elements from a Māori context (such as patterns, symbols, concepts, tikanga, or narratives linked to mana whenua)
- ·Identify visual and cultural elements from another cultural context that connects to your own identity or background
- ·Record what you observe using visual arts processes and techniques like drawing, sketching, annotation, diagrams, and selected materials
- ·Use practice-based inquiry methods—this means active looking and recording, not producing a finished artwork
You identify visual and cultural elements from both contexts and use drawings, sketches, or annotations to record what you observe.
You investigate specific details of the visual and cultural elements by using multiple drawing strategies and techniques to show careful observation and understanding.
