Building a Visual Foundation in Years 9 and 10 Art

Feb 21, 2026 | Visual Arts

This term, Year 9 & 10 students will build their core skills in Visual Art and Design by learning about the Elements of Art and Principles of Design. They will begin to understand how the creative process works, from developing ideas, to experimenting with different materials, to improving and finishing their work.

Students will be encouraged to try new things, take creative risks, and explore a range of materials. We will also focus on building strong drawing skills, including observation, line, tone, and how to communicate ideas clearly through images.

By the end of the term, students should feel more confident in their abilities and better equipped to express their ideas visually.
