Your lessons in Art will be quite different to what your used to in Primary school, this because they will take place in specialist Art classrooms. When you first start you will be given a sketchbook to work in and you will first learn all about the formal elements in Art, don't worry if you have never done this before. Your teacher will explain everything you need to know.
