GCSE Art

Art

The curriculum for Art aims:

Throughout their personal creative journey with us students are empowered to develop creative ways to communicate their thoughts and feelings about the meaning of the visual world around them. We support these journeys by giving students opportunities to experiment with a range of art materials, techniques and processes underpinned by an appreciation of artists both past and present. Our aim is twofold; to equip our students to consciously observe, record and question the visual world and to take ownership of their own creative outcomes as a response to it.
