Year 9 Art & Design

In this unit learners draw from a range of still life objects focusing on tone to record detail and form. They also explore how objects relate to each other in terms of space.

Learners take the theme title ‘Identity’ and explore possible responses through discussion. This understanding will be expanded by looking at examples of work from a range of artists that relate to the theme in different ways such as portraiture, still life, landscape, and sculpture

There are two possible themes for this unit ‘On the surface’ or ‘Contained’ and you can choose which one you would like to use for this unit. ‘On the surface’ has been used to illustrate the suggested teaching activities in this unit, but these could all be adapted for the theme of ‘Contained’.

Unit 9.4Exhibition

Learners will select work from any of the units covered this year to create an exhibition displayed somewhere in the school. This will involve selecting a final outcome and at least three sheets of work from their initial drawings and photographs, experiments with media and artist research.
