Each student who enrolls into Art 9 is required to choose two modules out of the seven that are offered.  Each module is designed as an introduction to the module topic providing the student with a basic understanding. 

If a student is interested in pursuing art, or taking art in subsequent years they are encouraged to select Module 1 and Module 6 to provide a foundation in drawing and design.  If the student previously enrolled in Art 8 with DESK they are required to choose two modules which exclude modules they have already taken.
