KS3 Curriculum Plan
KS3 Curriculum Plan
The growth and development of our students is key to our departments pedagogy.
We have designed our Key Stage 3 curriculum around the formal elements, the fundamentals of Art and Design. The foundation of Art and Design. Using a range of themes, skills and techniques, and artist and designers, students will develop key knowledge and understanding to progress onto GCSE Art and Deign and beyond. The curriculum map shows the journey our students take in Year 7 and 8.
*The 'Everyday Objects' project will be taught to both year 7 and year 8 this academic year only.
The formal elements of art are the basic parts that make up a piece of artwork. The elements are Line, Shape, Form, Colour, Tone, Pattern and Texture. We also consider layout/composition to be equally as important to produce a piece of 2D artwork.
There is a copy of the PDF at the front of our Key Stage 3 student sketchbooks for quick reference.
