Year 9 Half Term 1

September - October Half Term 2

October - December Half Term 3

January – February

Topic: Core Drawing Knowledge: The pupils are required to deepen their knowledge and understanding of different approaches to drawing. They draw a diverse range of subjects from natural forms such as skulls and bones to machine parts requiring the pupils to understand ellipses and geometric forms. Skills: In this unit, the students are required to focus on improving the proficiency and handling of drawing materials. They make in depth investigations into drawing techniques. Including drawing from primary and secondary observation, mark making, tonal studies, recreating textures and surfaces, and drawing positive and negative space. They also use photography as a method of recording images of their subjects and as a starting point for drawn work.
