Visual Arts
Our Art Department aims to provide a stimulating environment with facilities for a wide range of processes and techniques, encouraging pupils to respond to masters both old and new and to foster their own creativity.
Our large, modern studios enable students to develop work that is ambitious in scale and purpose. Diversity is central to our practice and we encourage pupils to experiment with a range of techniques; weekly life drawing classes are an important part of our Sixth Form courses to this end.
The department remains open well beyond timetabled lessons, enabling students to further pursue their works and ideas outside of class time.
We also strive to expose our pupils to professional artwork and artists, and our Nicholson Gallery hosts a series of exhibitions throughout the year providing firsthand contact which challenges and stimulates students while enriching their creative experience.
