Art

Art and Design is concerned with the development of visual perception and understanding, including creative, imaginative and practical skills for working in Art, Craft and Design and the promotion of visual literacy and appreciation of the work of others.

A general course is followed in the first three years of senior school with the opportunity to sample a wide variety of different art medium. An option at GCSE, the students can then continue with a general course or concentrate on Fine Art, Graphic Design or Textiles.

Hands

Photography is offered as a specialism at AS and A2. Students have the opportunity to produce both digital and film images. Darkroom practice and digital enhancements and manipulations are taught in parallel during the AS year. A2 students are free to choose either film or digital photography or indeed they may continue to combine both.

GCSE SUCCESS

This year the U5 achieved excellent results with some truly outstanding pieces of work as presented here. The work illustrates the influence of Cubism which was studied during the course.

A celebration of Art and Music

Every year the Art and Music departments present an evening of cultural enjoyment when pupils are given the opportunity to display and perform their art and music respectively. The evening allows parents and friends to appreciate the talents of their sons and daughters in the form of an Art Exhibition and a Concert. The evening is always a popular event in the school calendar.
