Art

Year 10

What will I be learning?

Students will be introduced to their theme of ‘Natural Forms’. Students will be introduced to the exam criteria and begin Component 1. During this time students will experiment, explore and apply resilience to a range of materials and processes. They will work with a variety of techniques, materials and processes throughout the project with a focus on:

AO1: Develop

AO2: Refine

AO3: Record

AO4: Final Piece


Students, although informed by artists and their own personal decisions, will be taking inspiration from other subject areas such as Geography - Landscapes/natural world and/or Biology through looking at structures, bones and human form.

Students will demonstrate their understanding of colour theory and composition by creating a personal response to the theme of Natural forms.

How do I develop my knowledge?

Students should develop knowledge by exploring and experimenting with different processes, mediums and techniques. Eg. 1. Complete a drawing 2. Recreate this drawing using craft wire.

Students should also continuously be exposed to artists and Art and this could be supported by going on visits to galleries, museums and exhibitions in their own time.
