This matrix sets out the visual arts curriculum achievement objectives across levels 1 to 5, as demonstrated in students' work.
The indicators show how students might progress in key aspects of the visual arts in levels 1–5 of The Arts in the New Zealand Curriculum. The exemplars available in print, online, and on the CD-ROM show many, but not all, of these progressions.
Although the matrix is set out as a table, which may suggest linear progression, this is not intended. In practice, learning in the visual arts is spiral in nature, incorporating earlier learning and building on itself. The matrix is an indication of possible signposts in learning journeys in the visual arts. Students will travel in many different ways.
