Art at Bromley High is an intellectual, creative and communicative subject. We teach across the full breadth of the subject and have a curriculum which is broad, challenging and exciting. The Art Department promotes ideas and skills as partners in the creative process and promotes Art as a serious subject which is respected by students, parents and staff alike. Art at Bromley High is exciting, forward-thinking and self-critical. Our artists are set challenging work, and we do not shy away from work which is technically or conceptually difficult. The Art Department cares about students as individuals and seeks to develop warm relationships between staff and students. The Art Studios are open for all students to use in their spare time should they seek a creative refuge in their busy school day. We seek to prepare students for a world where creativity and flexible thinking are becoming more important by the day. Fine Art at the A level continues to foster the independence in thinking and endeavour developed through GCSE. Students are shown how to extend their skills and are exposed to ways of working and thinking that reflect contemporary art practices. Our A-level artists and photographers have access to a well-equipped faculty that includes individual student studio spaces, a ceramics workshop, a suite of Apple Macs installed with industry-leading software and a photographic darkroom. We encourage our A-level students to seriously consider a career in the creative industries and have a proven record of helping students access their choice of higher-level courses. A-level students also have a broad knowledge of and an appreciation of Art History which is encouraged through trips to lectures and galleries both in London and abroad.
