Art Curriculum OverviewYear 7The primary objective of the art curriculum is to provide the skills and opportunities necessary for all
students to develop aesthetic awareness and creative involvement.
Each year group will follow a theme which will last for the whole term. The objective is to encourage
all students to sustain and thoroughly investigate a topic, starting with a structured skills-based
foundation which equips them to make an individual and personal response to the theme. The long
period of time devoted to the project enables a number of ambitious and varied responses, hopefully
leading to further developments and larger scale work. Students are guided and encouraged to work
with a range of materials. The course is not prescriptive but rather, the intention is to provide
starting points.
Research, experimentation and modification are important aspects of the process of making art.References to the work of established artists and craft workers are an integral part of that process.

Term 1 Map skills and places
Exploring Egypt
The first part of the unit will focus on
developing pupils basic map skills. Skills
include grid references, direction, scale,
latitude and longitude, contours and
map symbols.
The second part of this unit aims to
further develop pupils' knowledge and
understanding of places gained from
KS2 whilst at the same time applying
some of the map skills learned in part
one. Pupils will look at continents,
countries and world geography.
In this unit pupils will explore the
physical geography of Egypt again
building on map skills used in the first
unit. Pupils will compare different
environments in Egypt (desert, cities,
Nile Delta) and how and why the
population is distributed in these areas.
The unit also looks at tourism in Egypt
and pupils will create a brochure aimed
at promoting Egypts tourist attractions
to foreign visitors. The formal
assessment involves writing a diary
which looks at the issues of rural to
urban migration within Egypt whilst
giving pupils an opportunity to express
their literacy skills.
Term 2 Exploring Egypt continued
Microclimates project
In this unit pupils learn the physical
geography behind microclimates by
conducting a geographical enquirywhere should Mr Pontich build his
greenhouse? in the school grounds.

Programmes of Study New Cairo Academic Year 2011/2012 British International School
Pupils first learn the basics of measuring
the weather and what microclimates
are. They then use thermometers and
hand made anemometers to measure
the climate at a range of sites aroundthe school. (Pupils find these sights
using a school base map and the map
skills previously learned).
Pupils then write up this as an
experiment using graphing, describing
and explaining skills. The overall enquiry
is formally assessed.
Term 3 Rivers and how they work
Country Enquiry
In this unit pupils investigate rivercharacteristics, processes and features.
They look closely at processes of
erosion, transportation and deposition.

shape the land by focusing on
waterfalls, meanders and ox bow lakes.
Pupils then look at how rivers change
along their course. The unit is formally
assessed with a key knowledge test.
This unit is a researched based unit.
Pupils will investigate various aspects of
their chosen country in groups. They will
then present their information in a
medium of their choice.
