Aims:
Creativity is at the heart of every area of our lives – it is an essential skill that enables us to be effective in all that we do. The St. Anne’s Art Department provides an environment where students can develop and nurture this life affirming skill. Students will learn to develop their own unique approach to the world of the visual arts, refining and improving their ability to experiment with materials and respond to the visual world using the key skills of drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture and digital media.
The St. Anne’s Art Department is a flourishing centre for the development of the visual arts, enabling students to produce artwork that is both original and technically accomplished. Our staff are committed, inspirational, demanding and fun: given appropriate guidance and sufficient individual attention, all students are capable of producing works of a very high calibre. We achieve a high success rate at A Level and we have a high success rate with entries to Foundation and BA courses at colleges such as Central St. Martins, Camberwell College of Arts and The Bartlett UCL. The course includes many visits to London galleries and Museums.
