Art

Come along to the Art room and join our Head of Art to craft and create something amazing! We will learn about awesome artists, super sculptures, crazy crafts and silly sketches.

Art scholarship candidates will explore the process of creating a portfolio, working towards an arts interview and preparing for their drawing exam.

Arts award students will also create a portfolio with structured themes, however focussing more on practical skills and sharing those with others in preparation for their moderation and Bronze award from Trinity College London.

If you are interested in pursuing either of these clubs please do talk to Sherrey directly. This club is by invitation only – for year 7 and 8 students demonstrating a keen passion for creative arts.

Pupils will explore artists both historical and contemporary to inspire a variety of artistic experiments.

We also link to world events such as Christmas, Easter, Diwali, Remembrance Day and at times work on the set, and props for school plays.

We structure the club alternating between a taught session and free choice week for pupils to work on pieces of their own choosing too.

Pupils will focus on the process of creating contemporary artwork rather than just the outcome, exploring modern ways of experimenting with a wide range of unusual materials, as well as more regular art processes; such as card sculpture, photography, 3D building and painting.

Art Scholarship candidates are encouraged to attend if possible to add a deeper breadth to portfolios.
