Art and Design
KS3
[ Art Gallery ]
The Department is committed to a broad and balanced approach to Art and Design throughout the School. We believe that everyone should be given the opportunity to explore and expand upon his or her individual abilities. Equal emphasis is placed upon the acquisition of skills (particularly drawing from observation) and the development of an inventive and original approach to problem solving. Looking at and discussing the work of other artists, both historical and contemporary are important parts of what we do.

During Years 7 and 8, continuing in Year 9, the pupils follow closely the programmes of study of the National Curriculum, including Painting and Drawing, 3-D design and Graphic Design. Pupils are encouraged to be inventive and expressive in their use of a wide range of materials including clay, paint, collage, photography, printmaking, sculpture and drawing.
There are opportunities through Activities and Quiet Hours to engage in more individual investigation.
