Art and Design encourage self-expression and creativity and can build confidence as well as a sense of individual identity. 
​
​
Studying Art and Design helps the pupils to develop critical thinking and the ability to interpret the world around them. 


Aims of the department: 
  • Encourage pupils to become self-starters and develop emotional intelligence  
  • Encourage pupils to make independent decisions through all their projects, and be self-critical. 
  • Nurture them in their learning so that they are able to be brave in exposing their creations, and accept criticism. 
  • Build confidence and pride in pupils' work, sharing it with the wider community 
  • Work in teams and become good communicators. 
  • Learn to explore and experiment with materials.
  • Learn about artists and designers and how to analyse and evaluate their work, as well as their own. 
  • Be more aware of the Arts and Culture within their own community as well as the wider world. 
  • Equip pupils with the skills and recognition to support them in their career paths
