Art and Design

Art and Design gives students the opportunity to consider the world around them, responding to it and commenting upon it, through visual means. As well as building technical skills, students will have the opportunity to develop as individuals, considering philosophical and global concepts, considering different points of view, building resilience and empathy.

We encourage students to explore a wide range of media, from painting and drawing, to sculpture, ceramics, printmaking, photography and many other materials besides. It’s the “hands on” experience that we feel is so important for students. Having the freedom to explore and experiment, builds skills, confidence, the ability to think creatively, solve problems helps students to become capable artists and productive people as they start their adult lives.
