Art and Design allows pupils to develop their visual awareness and understanding through the development of technical skills and the creative exploration of ideas, materials and concepts. It offers pupils opportunities to think, communicate and express themselves using a visual language, using both traditional and digital media and processes to create personal and imaginative responses. Pupils develop their knowledge and independent research skills, responding critically to the work and ideas of other artists, allowing them to communicate, question and explore ideas and perceptions of the world around them. The Lower Sixth offers pupils the freedom to develop and explore their practical skills through a series of short, open-ended experimental workshops, based on developing a visual language and the enjoyment of process and making. They will also produce an extended project based on an area of personal interest.
Grade 6 or above in GCSE Art or DT. An enthusiasm for the visual arts, independence, resilience, an ability to draw, curiosity and imagination. The ability to think critically and analyse.

Refine work by exploring ideas, selecting and experimenting with appropriate media, materials, techniques and processes. Record ideas, observations and insights relevant to intentions as work progresses. Present a personal and meaningful response that realises intentions and demonstrates understanding of visual language.
