Art and Design Technology

The Art and Design departments aim to provide opportunities for pupils to work in a wide range of media and gain experiences in drawing, painting, mixed media, print, and three dimensional materials.

Topics include colour, printmaking and drawing, portraiture, mask making, using clay, plaster, bandage and papier mâ¢hé and graphic design.

In Design Technology the children are set a project to complete each term where they design one object thinking of the materials to use and the method of construction.

They will carefully construct their model, correcting any design problems they may come across.  Their projects become increasingly more challenging as they develop their skills and may range from simple acrylic keyrings to a waterwheel which drives a carousel.
