Brief overview of intended learning in Yr 9
Pupils in year 9 build upon key skills and knowledge they completed in year 7 and 8, where they were learning new skills, including refining their control and use of materials, with creativity, experimentation and an increasing awareness of different kinds of art, craft and design.
In year 9, pupils will be introduced to a range of artists (Historic and contemporary) and fully explore their way of working. Pupils will experiment with different artistic techniques and styles to create their own pieces of work. Pupils will develop and refine their artistic skills, through the use of clay, to create a sculpture inspired by the Artist Hundertwasser and a drawing by contemporary artist Iain MacArthur.
Pupils in year 9 build upon key skills and knowledge they completed in year 7 and 8. They will have developed their research, designing and making skills creating a phone cover and stencilling a design onto a bag, They will have worked to a set design brief. They will have developed a range of practical skills, including cutting fabric accurately, pinning fabric, sewing a range of stitches for decoration and practical purposes. Threading a needle and tying knots. They will have learnt about stencilling and experimented with a range of colours and effects by mixing and blending colours. They will have learnt how to create a professional finish in their work They will have learnt about health and safety in the textiles room and the importance of looking after equipment and materials. They will have learnt to be prudent with materials.
Within Year 9 they will build upon the following skills to develop skills for GCSE Design Technology. Pupils will be introduced to the context of ‘storage within a box’. From this they will complete research on this context, which includes a client profile, mood board and a product analysis. Pupils will write a design specification for their own box, and from this they will complete a range of design ideas. They will develop skills in presenting their design ideas in a creative way including the use of marker pens and CAD. Pupils will continue to develop their knowledge and skills in CAD and CAM techniques. Also, they will build upon practical skills they have developed over year 7 & 8, where they will make a wooden box, with mitre joints, with a sliding lid that will have their own personal design on the lid inspired by one of the following designers / artists; Banksy / Norman Foster / Memphis. To support with the school's literacy policy pupils will also make a 3D printed bookmark,
Pupils in year 9 build upon key skills and knowledge they completed in year 8. They should have a basic understanding of the following concepts:
