Art

The Art Department aims to develop and improve creativity, skills, knowledge and appreciation in all pupils.  It also aims to develop excitement for Art and Design as a subject for further study.

Yr7 programmes of study focus on the basic visual elements of Art; line, tone, texture, colour, shape, form, composition.  These are explored using a broad range of approaches, and include activities using; pencil drawing, painting, mixed-media, clay work.

Yr8 programmes continue to develop skills with a broad range of media, but move into more in-depth study on themes such as; the portrait, architecture, identity. 

Yr9 programmes further develop skills and techniques whilst considering significant movements in art, such as Surrealism and Cubism.
