Art is often the driving force in other studies and throughout life. In 2D Art, students are encouraged to develop skills through design, drawing and painting. 3D Art comprises of ceramics, sculpture and jewellery. Students have the opportunity to explore spatial relationships using media such as clay, glass, metal and wood. Every student will follow courses in Art from Grade 6 to Grade 8.
Art history is included at all levels, as a contextual component.
In Grade 8, part of the course will involve an in depth study of Byzantine and Classical Art involving a trip to Ephesus. Creativity will be enhanced through research, sketchbooks and the use of more advanced media such as computer technology, enamelling and silversmithing. At this stage even greater importance is attached to personal investigation and development. This forms the basis for their Studio Work, Research Workbook and Final Examination Exhibition. 3D work consists of ceramics jewellery metal work sculpture.
