What will you have learnt by the end of Year 8 ?

Art and Design Pathway: Art and Graphics

Year 8 Fine Art - “Landscapes and botanic”

In Fine art, we teach the topic of ‘landscapes and botanics’, because…

Students can build upon and develop their newly acquired drawing skills and use a larger selection of drawing and painting skills. These will vary from biro, charcoal colouring pencils and watercolours. We will look at artists work and develop design ideas influenced by the artists.

Year 8 Graphics - “Packaging”

In Graphics, we teach the topic of ‘packaging’, because…

Students can build upon and develop their newly acquired typographic skills to consider appropriate lettering designs as a part of fragrance packaging. Students will learn about meeting the needs of a client, designing and planning using a range of research methods, explore appropriate designs, colour schemes and media techniques in order to realise their intentions to fulfil a given brief.

Design and Technology Pathway: Resistant Materials and Catering

Year 8 Resistant Materials

“The ‘Trox” (personalised storage)

Electronics

Textiles

In RM, we teach the topic of ‘storage’, because…

Students are able to build on the activities undertaken in the workshop in Year 7 by using a range of tools and processes to realise a directed/ personalised outcome. Students will be able to learn about meeting the needs of a client, designing and planning using data, iterative modelling and realisation skills.

Catering

Year 8 - “A continuation of practical skills, nutrition and evaluation”

In year 8, we teach the students the topics above, because…

Students are able to build on previous knowledge (Year 7) undertaken in the kitchen environment by using a range of kitchen appliances to prepare cook and serve food to produce healthy, personalised and individual products. Students will be able to learn how to meet the needs of a potential client (brief) and how to evaluate their product.

The Subjects

At KS3, students will study both an “Art and Design” pathway and a “Design and Technology” pathway for 1hr per area per week.

Assessment

As all subjects within the Art, Design and Technology faculty are predominantly practical, assessment and verbal feedback is an essential aspect of most lessons- this may be teacher led, peer or self-assessment.

At the end of each module, each student will be given grades based upon the work they have completed in addition to an Attitude to Learning grade.

Each subject has a Scheme of Work geared towards teaching essential skills, knowledge and understanding with progression towards the KS4 GCSE courses in mind. Please find some resources listed below for wider reading in each subject area:
