Course Summary

Art, Craft and Design at Saint Georges School is a creative and exciting course. Involving both practical work and critical appreciation. We have a dynamic and individual-centred approach to Art A level - one that emphasises flexibility and creativity. Although technique is a vital element of the course, we are above all interested in allowing you to develop your own artistic style and opinions - your own voice.

We aim to provide a flexible and creative environment for making Art – both in terms of the atmosphere of the department and the facilities we offer.

By providing you with access to facilities and teaching across a broad range of media and artistic disciplines, we'll allow you to determine the directions you take, rather than prescribing a set medium or discipline.

Accordingly, we have a good range of resources for drawing, painting, printing methods, 3D/modelling/sculpture and ceramics. Art students will be required to engage in the creative process in their own time as well as taught lessons.
