Art provides many creative, exciting and stimulating opportunities for students which will help them form a real appreciation of art in their everyday lives.
Students will learn a variety of techniques and methods through experimentation and refinement of materials. Students will research and form opinions on both traditional as well as contemporary artists, from a wide range of cultures.
Art helps students to be able to express themselves and think creatively. It also challenges students to consider complex issues, thoughts and feelings.
