Art and Design

Statement of Intent

Art & Design offer unique opportunities for students to reveal their potential, express their ideas, develop their imaginations, investigate a wide range of images and products and develop their problem-solving skills.  Students working in the subject areas will develop knowledge about themselves, others, culture and society and will develop a visual literacy which will enable them to respond using a range of processes, techniques and materials.

Throughout the KS3 rotation students will experience a variety of different mediums and techniques which will allow them to gain the knowledge and confidence they need to continue their Art and Design journey at GCSE.
