Year 9

The theme for year 9 Art lessons is 'Portrait'.

You will find it useful to research the work

of the following art movements/ artists:

Surrealism

Pop Art

Expressionism

Juan Gris

Frieda Kahlo

Auguste Rodin

Rene Magritte

Ben Heine

You will be exploring portraiture as a starting point to explore proportion, expression, creating a likeness, features and identity. Using this focus it is important to keep practicing your drawing skills.

There will also be more emphasis this year on your ability to use effective annotation. This is the ability to evaluate and analyse both your own art work and that of other artists, expressing these ideas in written form.
