Visual Arts

A full-time specialist runs the Art School. Children are introduced to a variety of techniques and disciplines including drawing, painting, ceramics, textiles and many other forms and they are encouraged to experiment and explore different media and techniques.

We are concerned with the education of the whole child, and the development of art and craft skills will enable the achievement of personal fulfilment and satisfaction of the child. Success increases self-esteem and gives pleasure in this subject.

Art and craft play an important part across the whole Prep School curriculum. It is cross-curricular, and every subject uses it for visual imagery. It is a visual and tactile subject to which children can relate immediately. The skills which are developed are applied across the whole curriculum.
