ART AND PHOTOGRAPHY
Aims
Art has an important role in the education of all students, providing a uniquely visual means of expressing
human ideas, values, awareness and responses. Art opens up areas of study and research, which promote
resourcefulness, originality and creativeness of thought, whilst allowing consciousness to be probed in a way
not available to other subjects. The sense of vision is all-important in how we comprehend and form our own
world. The understanding and use of visually communicated information, gathered from a wide range of
sources, has become a basic skill. The skill in this perception needs to be developed in order to enhance
aesthetic and critical awareness to open the mind to infinite possibilities and alternatives that the mind is able
to devise or imagine.
The Art Department aims to:
● Provide opportunity for students to have access to a wide range of processes, methods and techniques
to become familiar with applying the visual and tactile elements to their work, and to consider a range
of stimulating topics
● Provide opportunity for students to develop their skills of observation through first hand acquaintance
with objects and artefacts’ from the natural and made world
● Promote investigation and experimentation of ideas and materials
● Provide opportunities to express ideas and explore emotions
● Provide opportunities to see how art, craft and design has made significant contributions to the world
in which we live
● Develop students’ aesthetic sensibilities and enable them to make informed judgments about art
● Create opportunities to express considered opinions about their own work and the work of others,
both in written and aural terms
● Promote the creative work of students throughout the school and wider community
● Develop students’ capacity for imaginative and original thought
● Enable students to develop an understanding of the language of art through the systematic
introduction of the visual elements.
Enrichment and Enhancement
The Art Department readily embraces opportunities to extend learning beyond the classroom.
Extra sessions are well established at KS4 in order to support students in the development of their
coursework portfolios.
At KS3, an art homework lunchtime club ensures students’ experiences are explored through individual
participation.
