In year 7 and 8 all students study 50 minutes of Art per week, year 9 students have 1 hour and 40 minutes per week. The course includes a diverse range of artistic styles including traditional and contemporary.
Students are given termly projects which focus on various themes and within themes we explore a diverse range of mediums to give the students a more rounded experience in all areas of the subject. Throughout the course the students are introduced to the work of a range of artists which complement and inspire creative responses related to each project.
Activities will involve: Drawing, painting, printmaking, collage, photography, clay, critical analysis and 3D work.
Year 8 students will choose 2 areas of Art, Design and Technology that they would like to focus on in year 9. These 2 options will then rotate on a 9-10 week course, giving each student a double lesson per week. This then gives the students more time to develop their skills in these subjects, creating a more solid foundation for GCSE.
Students artwork is displayed around the classrooms to celebrate success and demonstrate the exciting and skillful work created by the students. Students are encouraged to attend lunch and afterschool workshops to extend skills and techniques.
By the end of Key stage 3 all pupils should be able to:-
Use a range of techniques to record their observations in sketchbooks, journals and other media as a basis for exploring ideas.
Use a range of techniques and media including painting.
Increase their proficiency in the handling of different materials.
Analyse and evaluate their own work, and that of others, to strengthen the visual impact or applications of their work.
Have a critical understanding about the history of art, craft and design and architecture, including periods, styles and major art movements up to the present day.
