About This Course

The Teens Course is specifically focused on O-Level preparation, either as private candidates or as a supplement to Art lessons attended at school.

 

Students need to apply a minimum of TWO years prior to their MATSEC examination.

 

Classes are made up of small groups to ensure individual attention. This will help each student to feel supported and valued, and also feel comfortable in a secure and friendly environment.

During this course, students will be:

 

  • Prepared to sit for their MATSEC Art O-Level (both for students who have Art option at school, and also those who will be sitting as private candidates.)

 

  • Expected to practice at home in order to strengthen the skills acquired in class.

 

  • Keep having the opportunity to explore and experiment with different media and surfaces, namely acrylic paints, pencil, aquarelles, coloured pencils, collage, chalk and oil pastels.

 

  • Enhance their artistic concepts, including colour concepts, light and shadow, proportion, juxtaposition and shape and form. 

 

  • Using Visual Arts as a tool for self-expression through various approaches, namely mural drawings, posters, still-life compositions, imaginative drawing, portraiture and human drawing.

 

  • Grow familiar with different artists and different movements of art. They will be encouraged to produce authentic artwork by researching, followed by producing sketches and personal written anecdotes inspired by different works of art.

 

  • Reflect on and criticise their artwork, aiming for self-improvement.

 

  • Appreciating the process of thought and reflection as a significant part of the artwork.
