Art


The Art Department is a vibrant, active and dynamic part of the Expressive Arts faculty, often working on joint projects or Whole School events and productions with Music and Drama.
 
Art is delivered across all Key Stages. We provide plenty of opportunities to take part in extra-curricular art activities. These include weekly KS3 Art club and after school support for KS4 Art students. We also offer projects and workshops for G&T Art students and students from our feeder Primary schools.
 
At KS3 our students follow a ‘foundation’ course, which develops their skills by working in a variety of different materials and studying the work of different artists.

At KS4 we offer AQA GCSE Fine Art and AQA GCSE Art Textiles. Both courses continue to develop students’ awareness of the work of other artists and crafts persons, but also encourages a growing independence and willingness to take creative risks through the projects we present to them.
 
At KS5 we run two year AQA A Level courses in Fine Art, Art and Design Textiles and Photography. A Level Art students have their own dedicated Art Studio which provides a quiet place for them to work during their self-study periods. It also doubles as an exhibition space to show-case their work during the end of year show. For the Photography students we have a Photography studio with studio lighting and access to Photoshop for editing their images.
 
Students are encouraged to work independently and develop their own style and original work. They have the opportunity to work with other artists during workshops and to visit galleries both locally and further afield.
 
A large number of our students continue to Art College, and leave us well prepared for working independently.
