Trying out different materials in Year 9 Art & Design can feel a bit tough at first. It often seems like there’s a lot to learn all at once.

Here are some challenges students might face:

• Not Enough Materials: Sometimes, there isn’t enough access to certain supplies, which makes it harder to try new things.
• New Skills: Learning to work with fresh materials requires picking up new skills, and that can feel overwhelming.
• High Prices: Some materials can be too expensive for many students to afford.

But there are some good solutions to these problems:

• Helpful Workshops: Organize sessions where teachers guide students on how to use different materials.
• Team Projects: Work on projects in groups so everyone can share their resources and ideas.
• Cheaper Options: Look for inexpensive materials that can create similar effects to the pricier ones.

By tackling these challenges with some good ideas, students can have a more enjoyable and creative experience in art class.
