Art and Design
GCSE Art lesson
We are a lively team of teachers who are committed to helping students appreciate Art & Design. We teach a range of disciplines including painting, drawing, printmaking, 3D design and ceramics. The curriculum enables students to explore a variety of art work relevant to them, among these are Landscape, Portraiture, War and Conflict and Africa Art.
Students in Year 7 study lots of different artists and cultures and do painting, drawing and clay work. In Year 8 they work with clay, wire, cardboard and look at abstract art and in Year 9 they study art from centuries ago to very modern day images. All students paint and draw and have the chance to work with digital media.
GCSE and A level artwork is excellent and all students have work exhibited at the end of the year. There are opportunities for Art trips and visits to galleries and the sixth form have visited
