TRINITY 2 

One double lesson/week for approximately 9 weeks  (18 lessons)   

In Year 9 Art and Design lessons will develop prior skills learnt in Years 7&8 and offer increasing levels of challenge, risk taking and unpredictable outcomes. Increasingly pupils will be expected to work independently and have the opportunity to work from a brief.  

 Pupils will work with a range of media use different methods and techniques/ways of working to produce their artwork. Pupils will continue to be introduced to the tradition of different specialisms within art. For example, drawing for different purposes, working two dimensionally and three dimensionally.   

They will also study and analyse different artists. Fine artists and Commercial artists, artists from traditional and less traditional backgrounds. For example, Street art and Installation art. Pupils will be encouraged to develop critical understanding of artists, architects and designers, expressing reasoned judgements that inform their own work.  

Pupils will: 

  • Be introduced to a variety of artists/designers/architects to inspire them in their work. For example Hundertwasser and Iain Macarthur.  
  • Develop and refine their ideas using artists’ work as a starting point.  
  • Use sketchbooks to record observations, ideas and experiences.   
  • Explore the use of colour and pattern both in 2D and 3D. 
  • Increase their proficiency in handling different materials – (pencils, pens, pencil crayons, paint and clay).
