Year 7 Art and Design 2022
In Year 7 students at Penola study “Art and Design” for the whole Year with 3 periods per cycle. The subject includes 5 Areas of study which are Drawing, Painting, Sculpture/Ceramics, Design and Visual Analysis. This gives students the opportunity to develop creative and critical thinking skills, explore and express ideas, use a range of materials, present artworks, respond to and interpret artworks.

The Year 7 Students have been working on their Drawing unit with the topic being Still life. They have been developing skills by drawing objects from observation, using art elements, representing and rendering 3D form and using a range of drawing materials.

In class students use an A4 Visual Diary where they develop ideas by means of sketching, annotating and trialing materials before staring a final still life artwork. Photographed for this article working on their final still life artwork are Holly S 7E, Juliet G 7E and Angus K 7J.

The students have been working enthusiastically and productively in class and are excited to develop new skills, use materials and express their ideas.
