Year 9
In year 9, students will complete a project based on the theme of ‘Me, Myself and I’, a broad topic that allows for personalisation and teaches through a range of artistic media and processes. Students study a range of both traditional and contemporary artists, such as Deb Weirs, Teesha Moore and Danny Gregory, as well as the artist Modigliani. Having studied the artwork of these artists, students will explore drawing, mixed media collage and clay processes, producing their own personal outcomes based on the artists’ work and their own interests. Teaching and learning is planned to build on processes learnt during years 7 and 8 and will develop students’ independence as artists, in preparation for further study.
