St Peter’s School (Cambridge)
Year 10 - Art
Course Description
Students will develop skills and practical knowledge in a range of two-dimensional and three-dimensional mediums. They will consider the relationship of objects and images to influences and context, both past and present. Students will compare and contrast how meaning and ideas are communicated by artists.
This course will introduce new processes and procedures and grow art skills and prior knowledge in drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, design and photography. Generating, developing, and refining ideas will be encouraged from each student’s personal cultural context. This will include taking risks, and seeking options, understanding there is more than one creative solution. Students will be encouraged to explore multiple perspectives to see, interpret and communicate ideas, relating to their experiences in the world.
Students will grow their appreciation for the joy of creativity and value their own and others’ artworks. They will identify and develop a personal style in the context of knowledge of traditional art history, which will be introduced over the course. This course will inspire, challenge, and encourage students to move outside of their comfort zone to collaborate, communicate, create, and achieve personal growth in both visual art and a wider learning context.
