At KS3 students begin a programme of study designed sequentially towards the demands of KS4.
We aim to develop over time during KS3 a number of areas:
| • To be able to creatively express ideas and experiences • To be able to analyse and select appropriately the work of different artists and from different cultures and make connections to their own work. • To be able to experiment with a range of media, techniques and processes relevant to intentions • To be able to organise and develop ideas relevant to a given theme and own intentions • To be able to produce skilful final outcomes |
