Art Year 9

In year 9 students are expected to have developed a more mature and organised approach to their work and have reached a much higher level of technical competence. Students should now be confident in their use of media and processes enabling them to develop their ideas in a more sophisticated way.  They should be able to analyse and comment on how ideas and meanings are conveyed in their own, and others' work. It is intended that the end of KS3 should see students who are confident in their use of a wide range of materials and disciplines, and are visually literate, intelligent art consumers, ready to meet, where applicable varying career and examination requirements. The individual project undertaken the summer term should allow students to demonstrate the skills acquired during KS3 as well as preparing those who wish to continue with art and design some of the requirements for GCSE coursework.
