Options for Year 9 students


Year 9 Options

Should you choose Art as a GCSE subject?

You have been studying to atain the Entry Level for Art and Design qualification. GCSE Art and Design is similar in the assessment requirements:

Observation: Drawing, photos, researching, collecting around a theme

Artist/Culture: Looking at work created by others, collecting ideas and ways of working

Experiment/Design: Trying out ideas, exploring materials,  using both sets of research to inspire original art work

Final Outcome: The final piece of work that reflects all the researching, collecting and designing and creative ideas

Work is undertaken in lesson with guidance and homework is set once a week and follows similar patterns to homework set in Year 9, observation, research, collecting, resourcing.

Written work always requires you to say what you think and feel, explain your investigations. It does need to be well written, grammer and spell checked.
Choose Art if:

you enjoy the subject

you have coped with one homework once a week

you like to be creative

you can express yourself


You will be given the opportunity to:


 develop your art skills using a range of materials

explore subjects and themes that interest you

create individual and exciting art work


Do not choose Art if:

you are not prepared to do homework

you do not want to think for yourself

if you think Art is the easy option

Your skill level in Art is not important, your enthusiasm is!
