During the year-long Year 12 Design programme students engage in cycles of research, design, and production of a set of playing cards based on characters from a theme of their choice.
Hand drawing, and digital drawing and painting are central to this programme.
Students use Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to produce a large body of work using influences from a range of established Aotearoa New Zealand and international illustrators.

Students engage in practical work including drawing and painting. Students choose to work with acrylic, watercolour, oil paint OR digitally paint on a Wacom tablet. Students develop a theme of their choice and work with the teacher to extend their ideas visually.
Idea generation and development underpin the production of artwork and presentation of a body of work for a portfolio. Students engage in cycles of research and investigation of pictorial ideas related to a thematic focus for the duration of the course.
