Emmanuel Catholic College Curriculum Handbook
Year 9

Visual Arts

Society influences artists, as artists influence society. In making their own art works students will develop
a range of skills and techniques in the selected art mediums. By responding to and evaluating artist’s
work as well as class work, students will learn about history and gain the ability to analyse art themselves.
Studio areas that may be explored during the year:
– Drawing
– Mixed art works
– Painting
– Printmaking
– Ceramics
– Sculpture

Assessment
– Production of an Art folio that displays development in visual inquiry, design work, media and colour
testing
– Individual creative projects exploring the range of studio areas listed above. Completed in class
– Written assignments investigating artists work
Students intending to study Visual Art in Years 11 and 12 would benefit from this useful preparation.
