Curriculum Map

Year	Half term	Unit(s) of Work	Key Assessments
Year 10	Autumn 1	Personal Creative Enquiry: Depth and Space	Observational drawings carefully and accurately translate them onto paper. Build consistency and refinement in drawing skills through practice outside the classroom through a homework booklet and mount on card. Select and combine different materials for collage, focusing on layers and depth. Arrange work and research to create a visually interesting background. Incorporate sewing techniques, using thread to add lines, patterns, or texture. Create clean, sharp, and detailed line work in a final response. Create a prep sheet with research and observational drawings. Create a final response using all techniques learnt on the prep sheet.
	Autumn 2	Personal Creative Enquiry: Brutalist Architecture	Create observational drawings on Brutalist architectural features, such as strong geometric forms, sharp lines, and minimal decoration. Complete homework booklet focused on architectural forms, and mount. Create mixed media collages, combining drawings, textures, and materials to reflect the harsh and raw qualities of Brutalist architecture. Develop research skills by investigating the styles and approaches of Meghan McGlynne, Paul Catherall, and Seth Clarke, focusing on how they represent architecture, and creating artist copies. Design an original piece inspired by Brutalist architecture. Annotate designs, clearly explaining artistic decisions, the influence of Brutalist principles, and the choice of materials and techniques. Model and sculpture a three-dimensional work that reflects Brutalist architectural aesthetics.
	Spring 1	Personal Creative Enquiry: Minerals	Create observational drawings on minerals using a variety of media. Use unconventional objects (sponges, sticks, etc.) to create interesting mark making with paint. Take part in a variety on mini workshops, using various media like brusho, ink and fairy liquid, mod rock, glue and paint and oil pastel to recreate a minerals texture with each media. Research and analyse artists, looking at how they interpret natural forms, textures, and patterns in their work. Combine techniques learned (e.g., mark making, texture creation, sculpting) into a final piece.
	Spring 2 Summer 1 Summer 2		Complete an artist CV that reflects on their art ability from KS3 and their likes and dislikes. Complete research pages on structure, looking at vision, inspiration, links to skills, contemporary art and history, mind mapping all information create a visual recording page, focusing on observational drawings in pen, pencil, coloured pencil, collage, oil pastel and print making techniques. Collecting their own photographs that represent structure and mounting these on a page. Create a mark making page, including tonal drawings, mini mark making and evaluations. Complete a colour experimentation page, focusing on the colour wheel, mark making with colour, weaving colour, definition of colour with examples. Create a page of their structure influence after they have narrowed down their mind maps pages, looking at artists and images with evaluations/ annotation. Research a minimum of 3 artists, recreating their own interpretation of their work and using their photographs to recreate them in the style of the artist, all to be completed on their own, individual pages. Design a final outcome based on their research with annotation, refining and developing these designs. Use media and materials to recreate design work to know which material they want to use in their final outcome. Create a final outcome.
