The Art department develops both the academic and cultural aspects of a student’s life. We aim to develop the students in our lessons into confident individuals who can use the power of the visual language to explore issues, ideologies and situations in a variety of ways. As the students progress through the course we aim to develop and engender key learning habits (in particular risk taking and perseverance) in order to create a learning experience in art that the student will find informative and memorable. We wish to develop students who will be able to explore and respond to all manner of influences during their work in the department, in a creative way.
