Year 9 Art

This term-based course introduces students to Art as a specialist subject. They will explore a range of media, developing technical skills and creative strategies. An artist’s workbook will be used to document their ideas, techniques, and progress. Through practical tasks and studying artist models, students will create a series of individual artworks informed by their investigations—developing ideas, expressing meaning, and enjoying the creative process.

Student workbook & Slideshow (Digital Workbook)

Every student will create artworks which will be kept in their Art Wallet and workbook. This is kept in the Artroom and can be taken home when work needs to be completed.

Students will be assigned a google slideshow to upload photograhs or scans of artwork created during the rotation. This is used for marking at the end of the Term.

Students photograph or scan artwork they create during the term and upload it to their e-portfolio (digital workbook) for the final hand in. Using the e-portfolio to mark student work means students are able to take all the work they have created home on the last day of the Art rotation.
