Year 9 Art
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr J. Manuel.
Course Objectives:
The aim of the course is to introduce students to the disciplines of drawing, painting, mixed media/collage, printmaking and sculpture. Drawing tasks are compulsory in all activities to record, clarify ideas, and express through the application of line and tone. This course will allow students to experiment and find their areas of strength and interest.
Course Content:
The content for the class is based on a theme, in which students are encouraged to explore and find a personal connection to the common theme. This allows students to compare and discuss ideas, skills and creativity as a further learning tool.
The students are required to:
•Research the art techniques of selected artists.
•Draw using a variety of wet and dry materials
•Complete tasks in a variety of media, e.g. paint, print, sculpture, mixed media/collage and design as they relate to the artists.
Where does the course lead?
The course introduces and teaches specific skills that will be developed further in Year 10 and ultimately lead to NCEA level 1 Visual Art in Year 11.

Disclaimer
Rosmini College's timetable is student-driven and a new timetable is generated each year based on student subject selection. Unfortunately, while we do our best to avoid them, timetabling clashes may still occur and a few students may be required to choose an alternative subject option.
The 2025 timetable, including the number of classes in each subject and staffing allocations, is created based on student selections made in 2024. Because of this, changing subjects at the beginning of 2025 may not be possible. Please, make your subject choices carefully.
