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.

Implementation

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. 

KS3 Art Overview
