Grade 6
Students have one one-hour lesson per week. The intention is to offer both breadth and depth of study. The aim is to provide students with an experience that allows them to:
- develop their basic practical skills
- generate an awareness of visual strategies
- ensure they are able to analyse their own and others’ work
- know strategies for developing and refining their own work
- gain confidence in their own ideas
