109·Art & Design · Key Stage 3
Year 9 Art
& Design
Six half-termly units across one academic year, each building something the next one assumes — ending with an independent personal response that rehearses how a 14–16 course actually works.
- 1aStructures & Still Life
- 1bPortraiture & Identity
- 2aSurrealism & the Subconscious
- 2bPop Art & Printmaking
- 3a3D & Sculpture: Natural Forms
- 3bGCSE / IGCSE Taster — Personal Response
Eight sections per unit, in the same order every time. Lessons are one row each rather than a page each — enough to teach from, not so much that it cannot be maintained across a whole department.
Experimentation is the one principle that applies identically to every unit, so it is stated once at the front: it is not extra work, it is the process, and no student moves to a final piece without a visible trail of tried, reviewed and changed decisions.
Every duration, material, artist and assessment word is a strong default rather than a fixed rule. Year 9 means ages 13–14, or S2–S3 in Scotland.
