Welcome to Art

What will we be doing in Year 7?

You’re going to be taught 1 lesson of Art each week. Over the course of the year you’ll complete 4 different projects. One each half term. 

Project 1: Drawing.

Don’t worry if you struggle to draw, you’ll be given lots of advice. You’ll try lots of ways to make marks with your pencil, use simple shapes to construct a drawing and learn how to use shading to make objects look solid.

Project 2: Painting

You’ll learn lots of new painting techniques and study the work of Vincent Van Gogh. He will help inspire you to create a landscape painting. 

Project 3: Clay

You’ll learn how to make a pinch pot and develop this into a clay monster.

Project 4: Printing

You will learn about creating zentangles and develop your work into digital art and then poly printing. 

Below is a list of books, documentaries, films and websites and locations that you could engage with, if possible, to develop your subject knowledge on topics you will cover in Year 7.
