Course Overview (Long Course Description for Course Page)

The Form II Fine Art Construction Course at TESEA Academy is designed to equip learners with the creative, technical, and practical skills required by the New NECTA Fine Art Syllabus. This course helps students build strong foundations in both 2D and 3D art construction, enabling them to develop artistic confidence, improve creativity, and excel in NECTA assessments.

Fine Art Construction is a core part of Fine Art learning because it teaches students how to transform ideas into real art products using locally available and modern materials. In this course, learners will explore construction methods such as collage, mosaic, paper construction, relief work, model making, and other creative designs. They will also practice safe and proper use of tools, apply aesthetic principles, and complete artwork projects aligned with NECTA requirements.

At TESEA Academy, the course is taught using a step-by-step approach with clear explanations, illustrations (where applicable), practical assignments, and exam-focused exercises. Students will not only learn theory but also gain hands-on experience in creating art pieces that reflect creativity, accuracy, and originality—key standards in the NECTA grading criteria.
