Key stage 3 art & design, sequenced

Year 7 · Year 8 · Year 9 · 18 units in all

Six half-termly units an academic year, one row per lesson rather than a page per lesson. Each year is written backwards from what the next one states it assumes on entry, so Year 7 ends where Year 8 needs it to start and nothing is taught twice by accident. Every unit maps to the statutory programme of study.

Year 7 6 units

  1. 1a The Formal Elements: Line, Shape and Tone
  2. 1b Colour and Texture
  3. 2a Pattern, Symmetry and Printing
  4. 2b Telling Stories: Art Before Writing
  5. 3a Clay: Natural Forms
  6. 3b Artists and Me

Year 8 6 units

  1. 1a Colour and Paint
  2. 1b The Human Figure and Face
  3. 2a Pattern Across Cultures: Ancient to Modern
  4. 2b Relief Printmaking
  5. 3a Clay and the Vessel
  6. 3b Artist Study and Personal Response

Year 9 6 units

  2. 1b Portraiture & Identity
  3. 2a Surrealism & the Subconscious
  4. 2b Pop Art & Printmaking
