AIMS

The Art department aims to promote an awareness of the visual language as a means of communication. With this pupils can develop their imagination and creative expression to communicate and understand their thoughts and concepts of the world they live in. Curiosity is developed through the exploration of subject, materials and techniques.

KS3

Students work on a series of projects ranging from Identity to Environment.

All students produce creative work, exploring their ideas and recording their experiences through drawing, painting, printing, mixed media, sculpture, photography and Photoshop. The projects are fully supported by critical studies enabling students to develop an understanding and appreciation of artists, craft makers and designers.

KS4

Students follow the Edexcel Fine Art syllabus in Art and Design. Over the two years they complete several teacher-directed and self-directed projects which provide them with the opportunity to work in both two and three dimensions using a wide range of media, processes and techniques, as well as photography.
