Art - KS4
The Art Department aims to develop technical skills, appreciation of movements and theories in Art and Design, and confidence in the use of media. We want our young artists to grow in independence, ready to explore new ways of creating, and willing to take artistic risks.
Students must understand the value of research as a basis for their own work, and appreciate the relevance of Art and Design skills to modern creative industries.
KS4 sees a continuation in the development of our young artists . The course consists of three projects. The first two are based loosely on ‘Still-Life’ and ‘Natural Form’. The final project is an externally set study. Students develop work and ideas based on their own interests, subject matter, and artistic decisions. Students are encouraged to experiment with a wide range of traditional and digital media, and to take risks in the development stages of projects. Students review, modify and refine their work as the create increasingly personal outcomes.
