Year 9 Visual Arts Assessment and Art Wall
The energy used, hard work shown and persistence to create has paid off so well. I am so proud and excited to share these works with you. Below are some students’ accounts of how they found the experience.
We hope you enjoy the gallery walk!
For this assessment we had to create an exterior artwork of a place of our choice. My artwork is a picture of Santorini in Greece and I used acrylic paint to create it. I chose this picture because I really want to go to Greece and it was just so pretty. I was challenged with the different tones of blue presented in the picture and recreating them, so that they still matched the artwork but I feel my end result was good enough and I enjoyed painting it.

The diptych/triptych assessment was really enjoyable to create. I used a photo of a scene in Italy to inspire my artwork. The most challenging part of my artwork was doing all of the fine detail, in particular the bike. The overall process was hard work but worth it for the rewarding result in the end.

The Artwork that I created was an outside painting of mountains and rocks. I decided to paint this because it showed an understanding of the environment around us. I first found a photo to have an idea of what I wanted and then added and took out what I thought looked good. The reflection was also hard to do, but in the end it came out and looked like the sky was glowing in the water. The moon was an idea from the original image showing how in the day you could see the clear colourfully painted moon. Overall, it was a great assessment and we loved painting outdoor and indoor areas we love.
