Hello students and parents!
​
In year 9/10 electives, we will be making and responding to visual artworks and designs through a variety of themes, art forms and styles, how and why artists make art in the way that they do.
We will explore our own personal artistic approaches through making and responding to our own art and the work of others. We will be exploring how artists and audiences interpret artworks through various viewpoints.
start to research artists in more detail and look at ourselves more deeply as artists, to help understand our own art making more effectively.
​
We will reflect critically on our own work and the work of others and start to explain the intentions and concepts behind our art making, and be inspired by artist, applying what we have learnt to our own art making. We will explore and apply the work of artists for different cultures and times, while build upon our use of art language and visual conventions, such as the elements and principles of art.
​
We will learn more about safe ways to work in the art and design room, and how to make good, sustainable choices about the materials, techniques and technologies that we use as artists and designers.
