Preparatory Art

Art

Welcome to the Art Room at Chinthurst, we aim to provide pupils with a wide range of experiences in Art. We hope to open their eyes and views to different artists and art movements, and encourage them to learn a wide variety of different techniques using a range of materials. We offer specific Scholarship classes as an extra activity for Form 4, 5 and 6, this is very popular and is regarded as an excellent experience for those wishing to take scholarships to their Senior Schools.

We have super facilities for Art, which includes a specific area for 3D work, which we use for wire modelling, clay firing and printing.

We aim to explore the work of different cultures and artists throughout our work and we find it vital that we expose the pupils to a range of art galleries and workshops outside the classroom environment.

This year we have visited the Cézanne exhibition at the Courtauld Gallery, The National Portrait Gallery, Tate Britain and Henry Moore's sculptures at Kew Gardens. We always take advantage of the workshops available at the galleries so that the pupils have hands on experience of the artists' work.
