In year 9:
In preparation for the thematic approach to work in Y10, students are given a project brief and are encouraged to select and develop individual ideas. Students use diverse sources and are introduced to different ways of creating work that is inspired by a theme or an individual artist. Art appreciation is also a main focus in Y9. Students are asked to analyse and evaluate examples of modern and contemporary art practice, developing further their knowledge of art terms and the confidence to express personal thoughts and opinions.
