Course Specification

The work we explore during KS3 has a real link to the next stage of a students education, ie GCSE and then A level. We set the foundations in year 7 for all the work we do in KS4 and KS5. We devise our own schemes of work and teach what we know young people need to know and skills they need to develop to better prepare them for Key Stage 4 and beyond. If a student opts not to take art at GCSE level, he will still leave Key Stage 3 with a secure bank of knowledge of Art History and Art Theory, as well as the skill to be able to manipulate a range of materials to suit every purpose. After all, our young students today will be the fathers and husbands of tomorrow and they will need those practical skills when doing jobs around the house! The average Westcliff student will leave this school with a breadth of knowledge and skills in a variety of different disciplines and it is important to us that our students understand that Art, like every other subject on their timetable, is an academic pursuit. We aim to make Da Vinci proud!
Pupils in Key Stage 3 have the opportunity to experiment with a range of materials, including pencil, paint, pastel, chalk, charcoal, papier mache, wire, string, mod roc, plaster, watercolour and a variety of papers to name but a few......Our aim is to introduce students to Art and Design in an environment which they consider to be safe and to give them the freedom to develop their own artistic style and to express their own critical views without the fear of failure or reproach. Many elements of Art history are incorporated into practical schemes of work, from the cave paintings of the Stone Age all the way through to Modern Art of the 20th Century.
