Year 9 Curriculum
Curriculum Leader: Sophie Pearce
What will your son study?
In Year 9 your son will complete two projects.
The project themes are:
Autumn - Street Art
Spring/Summer - Self Portraiture
The projects aim to build on your son’s experience in Year 7 and 8 and prepare him for the possibility of studying Art at GCSE. The Self-Portraiture unit is used as a catalyst for the GSCE Art and Design coursework (worth 60% of the grade).
During both projects there will be an emphasis on key drawing skills and opportunities to experience a wide range of media, including painting and art/design in ICT.
