Christian Vision and Values in Art and Design
In Art and Design we believe that you show Christian values through the dedication and perseverance you put into creating beautiful and meaningful artwork and by showing your appreciation and acknowledging the effort and love that others have put into theirs.
In Art and Design we focus on the values of Love, Patience and Humility.
Art and Design Curriculum Intent
The Art and Design Department aims to provide a positive, supportive and informative place, where students are encouraged to use their imagination and creativity to express themselves. We want to allow all students the ability to access art, embrace mistakes, take risks and understand that being a good artist is not defined only as having the ability to draw.
Our aim is to engage, inspire and challenge students, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design. As students’ progress through the Key Stages, they should become critical thinkers, develop an understanding of how Art and Design both reflects and shapes our history and contributes to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation.
We encourage Independent research to enable students in both key stages to discover art, craft, design and architecture beyond the curriculum. There are opportunities for students to get involved in extra-curricular activities such as the Lower School Art Clubs. Here students are encouraged to experiment with lots of different media and techniques pursuing personal projects and accessing equipment for homework projects.
