GRADE 8 - 9


In grade 8 to 9 the learners do a course in General Art. The emphasis is on the practical component with a general overview of art through the ages in the theory component. The grade 8 and 9 years form a unity as all the practical disciplines that are practised as specialized directions are covered during the two years. We do a project in painting, sculpture, ceramics, illustration, printmaking, drawing and photography.

The learners are therefore exposed to all the disciplines and this enables them to make an informed decision at the end of grade 9, when they have to make a subject chocie for grade 10 to 12.
