    Kia Ora everyone,

    Welcome to Art 2024. 

    To kick off the term we will be focusing on our drawing and painting skills to learn a variety of pencil, pen and paint techniques. I am hoping that by the end of the year, you will have built a library of artistic skills :) 

    I am looking forward to exploring the exciting world of Art with you all this year. 

    Mrs Lee.

    Hello Year 9 class, this week until WEEK 11, we will be focussing on the following:


  • Term 2/ Week 1 + 2

    Kia Ora Year 9 students!

    Here is our focus for Week 1 +2- We will spend time refining our Pot painting, in preparation for the final submission on Thursday, Week 2. Remember, as part of the assessment you will submit your concept design drawings (x2 Pots) as well as your final painting. 

    I will include the assessment criteria so you can see what 'working towards', 'working at', 'working above' and 'working beyond' looks like.

    I can't wait to see all your beautifully completed paintings! :)

     



  • Term 2/ Week 3 + 4

    Hi everyone! :)

    In Week 3 + 4, we will be taking a break from Painting and will be going back to using dry media (charcoal and pencil) and will be building our observational and recording (drawing) skills. We will build our observational skills by using reference photos to accurate copy what we see onto paper and will build our recording (drawing) skills through capturing the correct form/texture through the evidence of tonal shading.

    There are 2 different activities, where you will produce 2 different drawings. One drawing is of a skull using white charcoal against black paper and the other drawing will be a pencil drawing of your self-portrait + skull combined in a surrealist composition.
