Overview

Art

Introduction

Art and design at Eckington School is ambitious, inclusive and inspires personal expression creating passionate individuals who can read visual cultural and manipulate the visual language to make sense of their immediate and the wider cultural world helping to improve a student’s cultural capital. We want to foster independence, resilience and creativity and promote imaginative risk-taking which will aid a student's ability to provide practical outcomes and solutions to our material, emotional, social and virtual worlds.

We hope to engage, inspire and challenge students, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to participate in, experiment with, invent and create their own ambitious works of art, craft and design. We want them to investigate and evaluate a wide range of creative outcomes from past and present and develop understanding of multiple disciplines and how they have and continue to shape our society and culture, giving students the confidence to make a positive contribution to society both national and globally.
