Art at Addington
There are 3 key areas: knowledge and understanding, the 4 C’s (working in 3D and materials) and application of skills. Students explore elements and combinations of each of these areas, every year throughout their time at Addington School. By experiencing a breadth of content in the curriculum, exposure to a variety of cultures, styles and artists, pupils are able to develop, refine and apply their skills and knowledge using a variety of tools and materials.
Art is taught in KS3, KS4 and KS5 by a specialist Art teacher.
In the lower school Art is delivered through topic based work.
Art club, creative activity days and art exhibitions take place throughout the year.
