Achievements in Art


 

The Art Department is enthusiastic and passionate about the subject, the boys work hard and are encouraged and inspired to try exciting projects in 2D and 3D.

From making clay faces to adorning and decorating furniture, we are always showing boys the importance of being imaginative and creative in their thinking.

There is the great opportunity of joining the Scholarship Art Group, in which boys produce a portfolio of work to show off their talents in all areas of Art. We have gained Art scholarships to a number of senior schools, this year five boys are trying for scholarships.

The boys are given the opportunity of different Art trips and workshops, in the last year we have studied styles of paintings at The National Portrait Gallery, built sculptures at Kew Gardens after visiting the Henry Moore Sculptures and visited Tate Britain to view the paintings based on war artists.

Pupils' work is displayed throughout the school, in celebration of their efforts, and workshops are held through the holidays where they can try their hand a range of techniques such as wire modelling and cello tape sculptures!
