Welcome to the Art Department
Our Vision
The Art department at Upper Shirley High prides itself on making art meaningful, enjoyable and accessible to all students. We provide a unique means of self-expression whilst promoting the confidence and desire in the students to produce work of quality. In order to achieve these objectives an understanding of the formal elements of art and design is essential together with technical competence in a wide range of media. Practical demonstrations are central to the teaching ethos of the department providing an effective means of introducing new skills and techniques whilst generating confidence in the students.
During KS3 the schemes of work ensure that every student has multiple opportunities to demonstrate and enhance their skills, knowledge and understanding enabling progression through the level descriptions for art and design.
The GCSE course is a popular option choice and the department is justifiably proud of the results achieved by the students.
Art displays figure prominently throughout the school, work is regularly changed and is respected and admired by all.
