Year 7 Art | Mastering the Basics: Year 7 Artists in the Making

Our Year 7 students have embarked on an exciting journey into the world of Visual Arts, beginning with an introduction to the Elements of Art which are the building blocks of artistic expression. These fundamental concepts help students develop their creative skills and artistic confidence.

As we progress throughout the term, students will apply these elements into a range of different projects, from abstract compositions to realistic drawings. Their enthusiasm has been inspiring and we can’t wait to see what they create as young artists!

Here’s what some of our students had to say about Year 7 Art:

“Visual Arts class has given me a way to express my creativity and allows me to relax my mind from other aspects. I’ve learnt that art allows us to view different perspectives, for example, some people could see a hidden meaning behind an artwork and connect with it in many unique ways. ” - Jethro F

“What I have enjoyed about year 7 art so far is having fun and creating art. So far we have been learning about tone and texture and are currently drawing realistic animals and looking at different types of art.” - Aiden M

“Visual Arts class has taught me techniques I never knew which has really helped me in my drawings. It has definitely improved my skills already, and has made me understand the techniques on how to make my drawings the best they can be.” - Violet G
