This is your copy to KEEP for the entire school year

What will you have learnt by the end of Year 9?

Art and Design Pathway: Art and Graphics

Year 9 Fine Art - “Buildings and Pop Art”

In Fine art, we teach the topic of ‘buildings and Pop art’, because…

Students can further develop their drawing and painting skills from Y8 and Y7. They are able to learn about perspective, using shapes and layers to help construct drawings. After looking at and researching Pop Art students will develop their own drawings and paintings based on Pop art. Students will be able to expand on their ideas and experiment with using black and white and colour using figures and logos as their subject matter. Year 9 Fine art is assessed in similar way a GCSE unit of work would be to enable preparation for KS4 studies.

Year 9 Graphics - “Logos”

In Graphics, we teach the topic of ‘Logos’, because…

Students can further develop their knowledge and skills from Y8 and Y7. They will learn about colour theory and the psychology of colour in relation to branding and about different aspects of the logo design process. Students will understand how to apply some of the formal elements of design such as line, tone, shape, colour, scale, colour and texture to alter the mood and message behind a logo. Students will then work to a given brief to design a logo and will need to conduct research into designers, the theme and explore a range of media to meet the requirements of the brief. Year 9 graphics is assessed in similar way a GCSE unit of work would be to enable preparation for KS4 studies.

Design and Technology Pathway: Resistant Materials and Catering

Year 9 Resistant Materials

“Acoustic Dock”

“Bahaus Clock”

“Neo-Tech”

In RM, we teach the topic of ‘storage’, because…

Students are able to build on the activities undertaken in the workshop in Y8 and Y7 by using a range of tools and processes to realise a directed/ personalised outcome. Students will be able to learn about meeting the needs of a client, designing and planning using data, iterative modelling and realisation skills

Year 9 Catering- “World food, nutrition, costings time plans and briefs” In year 9, we teach the students the topics above because…

Pupils need to have the knowledge and skills to design and make food products effectively and as independently as possible. When planning menus they need to understand and use the physical, chemical and nutritional properties of foods to meet a specified need. They need to understand about today’s diverse population and demographics that are needed to implement their design, hygienically and effectively. Students will research an individual theme and produce a final outcome for a potential client.

The Subjects

At KS3, students will study both an “Art and Design” pathway and a “Design and Technology” pathway for 1hr per area per week.

Assessment

As all subjects within the Art, Design and Technology faculty are predominantly practical, assessment and verbal feedback is an essential aspect of most lessons- this may be teacher led, peer or self-assessment.

At the end of each module, each student will be given grades based upon the work they have completed in addition to an Attitude to Learning grade.

Each subject has a Scheme of Work geared towards teaching essential skills, knowledge and understanding with progression towards the KS4 GCSE courses in mind. Please find some resources listed below for wider reading in each subject area:
