Date new versions published December 2012
Planned review date December 2016
Summary of review and consultation process
In 2008 the Ministry of Education (MoE) and NZQA began to review achievement and unit standards in light of the revised New Zealand Curriculum (NZC). This Alignment of Standards (AoS) review also addressed duplication of outcomes, credit parity, fairness, consistency, and coherence. The AoS review was guided by the revised NZC itself and the Standards Review Guidelines. A copy of the NZC is available at: http://nzcurriculum.tki.org.nz/Curriculum-documents/The-New-Zealand-Curriculum.
Teacher subject associations were involved in the review, and draft achievement standards were the focus of wide consultation, especially with secondary schools and teachers. Extensive resources, including student exemplars, were also developed to support these standards, and are available on the MoE and/or the NZQA websites.
The review of unit standards included consultation with tertiary providers to assess continued relevance and likely future use of the standards. Unit standards that duplicate achievement standard outcomes and those without the likelihood of future tertiary use were recommended for expiry.
National consultation was undertaken in 2011, with the results analysed by Research New Zealand. The responses were generally positive.
The review of these Level 3 unit and achievement standards was completed in time for implementation in schools in 2013.
Main changes resulting from the review
· All NZC Level 8 (NZQF Level 3) outcomes derived from the NZC are now assessed using achievement standards, and there are no longer any unit standards linked to the NZC.
· Existing achievement standards were reviewed and new achievement standards were developed to align with the NZC. See table below.
· Grading criteria for achievement standards were reviewed in accordance with the Standards Review Guidelines.
· Unit standards that recognised similar outcomes as achievement standards were recommended for expiry. See table below.
For a detailed description of the review of, and the changes to, the Practical Art standards see the Appendix at the end of this report.

Development of Level 3 Visual Arts Standards
Process of Aligning Standards with the New Zealand Curriculum
The revised NZC does not make significant changes to the learning outcomes for Visual Arts.
Placing the student at the centre of learning as emphasised in the 2007 NZC has been an underlying concern when discussing changes to Visual Art standards. Student progress through levels of achievement and pathways for learning have underpinned the structure of the matrix at all three levels.
The NZC Key Competencies, Principles, Values, and the Essence Statement for the Arts have significantly underpinned discussions and decisions in shaping the standards, and have been embedded in achievement criteria. Potential for collaborative work, moving image, time-based art, and allowance for future technologies and approaches have been included.
The language of the Visual Art strands has been used where possible to explicitly or implicitly address the intentions and outcomes of each standard.
The research standards (1.1, 2.1, and 3.1) relate specifically to the Understanding the Arts in Context (UC) and Communicating and Interpreting (CI) strands.
The drawing standards (1.2, 1.3, 2.2, 2.3, 3.2, and 3.3) relate specifically to the Developing Practical Knowledge (PK) and Developing Ideas (DI) strands.
The production standards (1.4, 1.5, 2.4, 2.5, 3.4, and 3.5) relate specifically to the UC, PK, DI, and CI strands.
Addressing Duplication
Unit standards that duplicate the assessment of achievement outcomes of the achievement standards have been removed from the matrix and recommended for expiry.
Addressing Credit Parity
The relative weighting of research, drawing, and production standards is consistent between NZQF levels.
Consideration has been given to the relationship between evidence expectations for Visual Arts and those for other subject areas.
Fair, reasonable, and manageable evidence expectation feedback from the sector has been considered when developing achievement criteria for each standard in relation to the credit weighting.
External and Internal Assessment
The credit allocation for all external standards remains unchanged.
Additional internal achievement standards have been developed to provide alternative assessment pathways for students and programme flexibility for teachers.
What Has Changed?
AS3.1 Analyse methods and ideas from established design/painting/ photography/printmaking/sculpture practice.
· Changes have been made to the Explanatory Notes to provide consistency between each of the levels, and to reflect feedback from Level 1 consultation.
· This is now a research standard solely and the practical component in the previous 3.1 has been removed. Practical work is one valid method of researching but is not a requirement. The application of research in practical work is able to be demonstrated in 3.2. This would be best delivered as part of a holistic programme where the research in 3.1 informs work made in 3.2 and/or 3.3.
AS3.2 Use drawing to demonstrate understanding of conventions appropriate to design/painting/ photography/printmaking/sculpture
AS3.3 Systematically clarify ideas using drawing informed by established design/painting/ photography/printmaking/sculpture practice
· The previous 3.2 standard has been separated into two achievement standards:
o The revised 3.2 uses drawing skills (media, methods and techniques to arrange elements and principles)
o The revised 3.3 explores ideas (develop in a related series). This means that the standards are better able to recognise the particular strengths of students.
· It is recommended that these two standards are part of a combined holistic learning programme that can be assessed individually.
· The four credit allocation for each of these standards reflects the production expectations.
· The credit weightings for these standards are consistent across all three levels of the Visual Art matrix.
AS3.4 Produce a systematic body of work that integrates conventions and regenerates ideas within design/painting/photography/printmaking/sculpture practice
· Three criteria have been reduced to a single criterion so that it is easier to make a holistic judgement against the standard.
· The language of this criterion reflects the significance of the evidence required and credit weighting of this external standard.
AS3.5 Produce a resolved work that demonstrates purposeful control of skills appropriate to visual arts cultural conventions
· This standard is designed to provide opportunity for students to produce a one-off art work. As such it does not require developmental evidence for credit in this standard.
· It may be useful and appropriate to offer a period of teaching and learning prior to the assessment of this standard such as evidence for 3.3.
· This standard is intended as an alternative pathway for students unable to engage in the sustained development process required for a twelve credit body of evidence.
· This standard is not field specific and students can only be awarded credits for this once.
Moving Image
In order to align with the NZC Visual Arts Essence Statement, p 21, Assessment Specifications are being developed for Level 2 external assessment that will allow for assessment of moving image artworks.
