Art
Art is a subject that can help us to understand and give meaning to the world we live in. Through our curriculum we aim to provide students with an experience that is exciting and to ensure that our students combine practical skills with creative thinking. We support our students to aspire through their learning experiences to standards of excellence intellectually, practically, and aesthetically. Each student experiences a variety of media and techniques. In Year 8/9 students will develop their skills and understanding with progressive complexity and sophistication, so that they are able to make informed choices and work with increasing independence should they opt to study Art at BTEC or GCSE. We support students in learning to co-operate and negotiate and be able to share good practice and learn from others. We develop students’ awareness of the impact of art on society and expect them to achieve by applying a variety of skills from the wider curriculum together with those specific to Art to produce effective and considered artworks.
