Unit 1 It's a small world: insects | Students are introduced to a range of visual stimuli and explore drawing and colour theory using wet and dry media. They learn manipulation skills which enable them to develop 2D outcomes independently. The unit emphasises the visual connections students make between their own work and that of others, while teaching them to develop skills in media experimentation. Key knowledge developed:
Key skills developed:
Assessment: Learning is assessed formatively at Weeks 5 and 10 of the 12-week unit against an established checklist of criteria. Summative assessment and feedback are based on progress made towards the expected standard, which is articulated through a series of 'I can' statements. |
Unit 2 It's a small world: birds | In this unit, students collaborate to explore a variety of geographical and historical perspectives on birds in art. From these starting points, they develop ideas independently using 3D paper-construction techniques and colour theory to realise sculptural designs. The unit enables students to synthesise new and prior learning as a means of realising independent creative intentions. Key knowledge developed:
