Students will start Year 7 with a baseline assessment to assess their starting point in art and design. They will then develop their drawing and painting skills and will also develop their knowledge and understanding of shape, composition and colour theory. They will also look at the work of French artist - Paul Cezanne.
Students will produce an A4 water colour transcription of one of Cezanne's pieces of work which will be summatively assessed .

Develop the individual:
Develop confidence from seeing their work improve quickly.
Create a supportive community:
Students work collaboratively on their tables to arrange a composition for their Still Life
Students will continue their work on still life from the first half term. Students will also learn how to analyse artist's work by studying the work of Giorgio Morandi. They will develop their knowledge and understanding of composition by experimenting with a range of compositions and selecting the most successful one for their still life painting.
Ongoing self and formative assessment

symmetry
the quality of being made up of exactly similar parts facing each other or around an axis; correct or pleasing proportion of the parts of a thing.
assymetry
lack of equality or equivalence between parts or aspects of something; lack of symmetry.
Develop the individual:
Students will learn about new artists and broaden their general knowledge.
Students will work collaboratively to create and select the best composition.
Create a supportive community:
Students will study and analyse the elements of art during this unit to develop their knowledge and understanding of art and have ability and vocabulary to analyse and evaluate their own work, and the work of others.
They will learn about the function of gargoyles and collect research to inspire their own Gargoyle designs. They will then develop their creativity by producing designs and use self evaluation to select the most successful design to progress to a final piece. They will then plan how they will make their final design using clay.

Create a supportive community:
Inspired by the work of Paul Cezanne, students will develop their paintings from the previous term and start to incorporate more tonal and blending qualities into their work to represent different materials. Practice compositions and tonal blending will ensure they are thinking about composition and form in a thoughtful way before embarking on their final outcome.
