It forms a language which complements those of the literary, mathematical, scientific and factually based subjects. Our pupils have many ideas and Art and Design provide wonderful opportunities for their imagination and creativity. Making Art is liberating, challenging and exciting – it offers the prospect of analysis, experimentation and risk-taking. In their first year, all pupils study Art and Design for two periods a week. For the two GCSE years, all pupils follow a creative option, of which Art and Design are one. Level and Extended Project courses provide further specialist opportunities. Some pupils choose to study Art History as part of our Extended Project scheme. The courses provide a foundation, broadening pupils’ understanding of the diverse approaches to and the expressive qualities of the subject and help to develop a historical/critical awareness and artistic vocabulary. Our teaching covers many skills but the essential aims are to stimulate curiosity, individuality, expressive confidence, independent learning and awareness of culture.
