S3 Art
What will I learn?
The course consists of two units (Expressive and Design).
The tasks are based on personal themes and include practical activities such as investigating, working out ideas and producing finished pieces of work.
Art & Design develops visual understanding, creative imagination as well as a wide range of practical skills.
The S3 course aims to develop:
expressive ideas
understanding and use of the design process
confidence to make critical judgements about art and design work
How will I learn?
A range of techniques will be offered such as drawing, painting, print making and 3D design.
Linked to each practical task will be a written critical activity where pupils research, analyse and comment, in writing, on the work of an artist and a designer.
How will I be assessed?
Assessment and self evaluation identifies areas for improvement and is an ongoing process which informs the next steps for each individual.
