Dear valued members and homeschooling friends,

The AGM will be a quick meeting to recap on HASCA’s activity in 2017, review finances, and appoint executive officers for 2018.

The AGM will be followed by an open Committee Meeting where we invite members, and homeschooling friends, to share thoughts and ideas – perhaps discuss things you would like to see happen during the year.

All welcome! Please note only paid-up 2018 HASCA members are eligible to cast a vote at meetings.

We welcome our 2017 members to rejoin for 2018, and welcome you all to attend the meetings on February 8th.

In term 2 we will be experimenting with printmaking techniques and the use of ink as an art medium.

In term 3 we will be looking at the anatomical drawings of Leonardo da Vinci and their influence on contemporary anatomical artworks. This will involve drawing and painting bones and muscles.

In term 4 we will be using our year’s work to inform external folios to be exhibited at the end of the term.

CREDITS & QUALIFICATIONS:

We will be producing work to address a mix of NCEA Visual Arts & Art History standards in order to help facilitate student’s achievement should they decide to go on and study art through Te Kura. Some past students have successfully submitted their work to Te Kura for credit consideration at level 1 and 2.

Alternatively, ACE students enrolled with Homeschooling NZ can earn a credit towards their certificates upon completion of the course.
