This document outlines a scheme of work for a Year 9 ceramics unit. Students will build on skills learned in key stage 2 and develop more advanced knowledge of art through working with various media like paint, pencils, and sculpture. They will learn modern and traditional techniques to understand elements of art. The skills taught will be relevant to today's design world and provide a foundation for future years. Students will develop skills through project learning, group work, and independent study, covering topics like basic drawing, CAD work, sculpture, and experimentation. The unit aims to support students' personal development in areas like staying safe, enjoyment and achievement, and making a positive contribution. It will assess students' skills and provide differentiation.
