A High Performing Specialist Academy for Technology & Applied Learning

Art

Head of Department: Mrs L Judd / Mr A Connell

Introduction

In Art and Design our main aim is to promote creativity and to encourage students to develop their ideas.  As Art communicates visually we focus on the promotion of drawing, painting and 3D sculptural forms.

This is a highly successful department with excellent pass rates.  We offer a range of courses at GCSE covering Art, Craft and Design and Photography.  In the Sixth Form students are offered A Level Art, Craft and Design, Graphic Communication and Photography.  Without doubt all students benefit from coming into contact with a teaching team from varied backgrounds and with an extremely wide range of expertise.  Student work is prominently displayed throughout the College and helps to create an aesthetically stimulating environment for the whole College community.

Facilities and Resources

All courses have specialist teaching bases stocked with the relevant equipment and resources.  The Art studios have access to computers with Photoshop facilities and digital imaging equipment.  In addition, we have a designated Photography IT suite with a photographic lighting studio.
