ART & DESIGN DEPARTMENT INFORMATION
As a department our ethos is creativity for all, we believe that all pupils should experience creativity and the benefits of creative thinking.
Activities to support students outside of classroom
Parents can check the art department section on Google Classroom as useful information and worksheets are stored on there, as well as information on projects and how students can extend their learning. Students will benefit from having a space in which they can work and also if they have access to some basic art materials such as pens, colouring pencils and paints. If it is possible, students can really benefit from visiting galleries and museums to develop their knowledge and experience art first hand. Useful web-sites include:
Enrichment Activities
Students can use the art department during lunchtimes and after school to work on individual projects or to complete class work/homework. Art clubs are run during the year - in the past these have included clay, printing and photography clubs. Details of these are displayed on the extra-curricular timetable at the start of the academic year. Throughout the year there are also opportunities for students to enter a range of art competitions; these can be found on the Opportunities Board in the art corridor.
