The Art department has been very successful over the years in the GCSE results that the pupils have obtained. In Key Stage 4 pupils are given the opportunity to work with a range of materials including clay, print, mod-roc, pastels, wax, inks and computers to the more traditional materials of pencil and paint. Working within this diverse range of techniques and materials has been successful in improving their confidence and knowledge of what they are more comfortable using.
In Key Stage 3 the whole aim is to teach pupils the basics of colour theory, shading techniques, working with clay, Adobe Photoshop and the key artists that have influenced art scene from Leonardo Da Vinci to Vincent Van Gogh. Pupils will also have plenty of practical opportunities throughout years 8 to 10.
