Art and Design
Why we study Art and Design
Art, craft and design embody some of the highest forms of human creativity. A high-quality art and design education should engage, inspire and challenge students, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design. As students progress, they should be able to think critically and develop a more rigorous understanding of art and design. They should also know how art and design both reflect and shape our history, and contribute to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation.
Our Aim
Art helps develop a creative mindset which allows the students acquire a broader sense of learning. It encourages them to make new connections and relationships through their inventive minds. Students explore the creative process through a variety of ideas and themes and learn to develop and refine their ideas through contextual sources and the world around them.
