Art

Through the teaching of art, we aim to provide pupils with the skills, concepts and knowledge needed for them to express ideas, feelings and experiences through the successful production of individual work.

At Francis Holland School, Art is treated as a subject that is very broad in scope. It is seen as a practical activity involving a wide range of media and approaches, but also focuses on furthering our pupils’ awareness, knowledge and understanding of art and design in its various different forms.

In the department, we strive:

To encourage the development of the pupils’ imagination, personal expression and creativity
To develop the pupils’ ability for the appreciation and evaluation of art
To increase the pupils’ visual awareness of the world around them both natural and man-made
To be able to value the contribution made by artists from other cultures
To provide a happy structured environment conducive for the flourishing of school aims
