Year 9 Art

Students in Year 9 Art have been working to further their understanding of Studio Process this term by exploring, developing, refining, resolving and presenting an Art Book with a chosen theme. Students began their exploration by practicing with the ‘Zine’ technique, looking at a source of inspiration and proposing their individual projects. Students are now moving into the development stage of their process where they are trialling materials and subject matter drawings.

“In year 9 art we have demonstrated a variety of different skills from simple drawings to carving and printmaking. We have a lot of freedom in what we draw/create. Art is a subject I have enjoyed for a very long time and I have learnt many new skills for practical art and about how and why art is created.” – Satya Bradford.
