Art
“All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once they grow up.” - Pablo Picasso
Underpinning all Art lessons at St. George’s is a focus on empowering and exploring creative processes by evaluation and refinement, linking closely to contextual studies. We also aim to create awareness and understanding of the creative industries, galleries and museums.
We aim:
- For all students to pursue the subject to achieve the highest possible level and to meet their full potential
- To create curiosity, interest and enjoyment in art
- To encourage independent learning and self-discipline
- To use the school's location to enhance student learning by visiting museums and galleries
- To work with a broad range of traditional and new media
- For all students to learn to appreciate and value images and artefacts across times and cultures, and to understand the context in which they were made
- For all students to be able to reflect critically on their work and the work of others
- For all students to learn to think and act like artists, craftspeople and designers, to work independently and as a part of a team
Our facilities include two large dedicated classrooms, a fully equipped Mac suite and etching press.
