Year 8 Art
Year 8 Art builds on the processes and techniques developed at year 7 level. Some revision of the Art elements and principles will be necessary at the beginning of this semester long program, but these must always be emphasised and referred to in each lesson.
Artists and styles are the hub of this year level’s art work. Both theory and practical work examine a number of artists, discuss their respective lives and work and attempt to emulate their styles as a way of developing practical skills.
Year 7 students at Cobden Technical School are provided with many opportunities to challenge their learning and interact with their peers, both inside and outside of formal classes. One such opportunity is the year level camp.
The Year 7 camp is a three-day adventure at Port Fairy, mid-way through Term One. This camp provides a chance for students to mix with other students across their year level and bond with the Year 7 coordinators and welfare team. Students challenge themselves and interact with others in different groups. Activities include surfing, snorkelling, fishing, crabbing, a boat cruise and canoeing.
