Samoa Year 8 Visual Arts

The Visual Arts curriculum in Samoa covers a range of topics. A Year 8 lesson focused on "Tattooing symbols from the environment" has been identified. This suggests a connection between visual arts and Samoan cultural heritage. Another video showcased a Year 8 lesson on traditional Samoan patterns. Traditional Samoan art forms like tatau (tattooing), siapo (decorative fabric), and ie toga (fine mats) are likely explored.

While the specific Year 8 syllabus remains elusive, the Samoa Secondary Leaving Certificate exam for Visual Arts (2018) provides further insight into potential topics covered across the secondary level. This exam includes questions on portraiture, elements and principles of art, patterns of Oceania and Aboriginal art, graphic design and illustration, and multi-media art, modeling, and carving.
