ART & DESIGN.
Each and every pupil can succeed in Art and Design. It is a myth that one must be born talented to achieve high standards in this subject. Pupils of all abilities have successfully pursued studies in higher education and made careers in this subject’s numerous exciting areas. With effort and enthusiasm inevitably comes success. Everything is designed so that the fundamental and essential nature of this subject is appreciated. To be able to design in the fullest sense, one must be able to draw. Art and Design therefore, is on one hand a single subject, and on the other hand, two subjects, inextricably linked, in one. We aim to make lessons purposeful and pleasant, encouraging each pupil to use taught techniques and given materials in an individual way, to be analytical, imaginative and creative. Homework is set from Year 7 and complements class projects.
Visits to galleries and museums in London, Kent and Paris give invaluable first hand experience of great original works of art and design. Workshops by visiting artists further widen the pupils’ experience and give them insights into other cultures. We have a link with an African art group based in London.
