Art is a fundamental dimension of human life. Throughout history the Visual Arts have given form and meaning to ideas, feelings and provides ways for people to express and communicate with each other.
In Visual Art we introduce a broad range of art experiences including drawing, painting, print making, sculpture, textiles, and ceramics. Students develop manipulative skills through clear sequential projects. These projects are developed around themes and include research into artist inspiration. Students are provided with opportunities to express individual creativity through self-led projects.
Visual Art aims to contribute to a sense of enjoyment, engagement and fulfilment in a student's everyday life as well as promote an appreciation of the world around them.
As well as offering a Visual & Digital Arts Academy Scholarship, we also enter students work in several competitions and exhibitions, provide co-curricular opportunities at lunchtimes and have artist incursions and excursions to galleries.
