Te Hono o te Kahurangi: Qualification details Title New Zealand Certificate in Ngā Toi (Level 3) Version 1 Qualification type Certificate Level 3 Credits 60 NZSCED 109999 Creative Arts > Other Creative Arts > Creative Arts not elsewhere classified DAS classification 65 Māori Qualification developer Māori Qualifications Services (MQS) Next review December 2018 Approval date Dd Mmmm YYYY This qualification is intended for people seeking a formal qualification in Ngā Toi at an introductory level. Strategic purpose statement The purpose of this qualification is to introduce people to the basics of Ngā Toi informed by the expression of te reo and tikanga Māori, and aims to benefit the sector by preparing people for further study in Ngā Toi. The qualification provides a pathway for people wishing to enter, as well as recognising the basic skills and knowledge of those already in (employed or otherwise) the sector. Graduates will be able to contribute to the creation of Ngā Toi projects, under direction. The strategic purpose statement refers to the application of skills ‘from an āhuatanga Māori perspective’. This sends a strong signal from the outset that this qualification is distinctively Māori, and while the skills and knowledge will be transferable, this qualification is custom-designed specifically for application in Māori contexts. The term āhuatanga Māori includes te reo me ngā tikanga ā-hapū, ā-iwi rānei. Horopaki Toi This kaupapa encompasses a range of contexts that inform current view, and potential future direction(s), of art form(s); as well as how they can influence other activities not generally considered art. These activities will have similar historical and theoretical backgrounds that support the transfer of ideas from one discipline to another. This is a study of context, which may involve history, theory and current thinking, culminating in knowing that informs the artist’s practice. Guiding principles Hātepe Auaha This kaupapa describes the means by which an artist formulates an original idea and then manifests that idea into reality; itemising each step of a coherent process by which the raw material is transformed into the final piece. Key points of focus include problems encountered and a rationale for how each were resolved. This is for the benefit of the artist so as to enable them to retrospectively analyse the success or failure of any part of the creative process, and is not necessarily about the quality of any piece of work. Mahi Toi This kaupapa signifies the fundamental study of Ngā Toi in a chosen medium (or media) and a rationalisation of the choice of medium for any project (including an analysis of the medium’s advantages and disadvantages). In addition, the technical skill of the artist in manipulating the medium will come under scrutiny; including their ability to successfully solve any problems that arise to complete a Ngā Toi project in accordance with its brief. It is the knowledge and skill of the artist in terms of medium (or media) manipulation. Qualification Reference XXXX © New Zealand Qualifications Authority 20XX Page 1 of 6 Rangatiratanga This kaupapa describes the skills and knowledge required to effectively plan, propose, execute, and report on a successful Ngā Toi project; as well as the processes, kawa, and tikanga that are utilised for its protection and management. These are the project management skills that allow an artist to identify workload and timelines, allocate priorities, work to plan (including planning for contingencies), and resolve issues, ultimately allowing them to deliver a product to a particular standard of quality at a particular time. It is the skills and knowledge in this kaupapa which helps transform a hobbyist into a commissioned/ professional artist.
