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 Creative learning that they would like to focus on in year 9. These 2 options will the rotate on a 9-10week 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 skilful work created by the students. Students are encouraged to attended lunch and afterschool workshops to extend skills and techniques.
Throughout Key Stage 3 students are encouraged to develop their understanding of how the Arts and other subjects interrelate with cross curricular activities such as Mathematics, Art Science, Art Literacy, Art, year 7 Christmas show Project and year 8 Rock Challenge theme Day.
