Art

An artist in the making

Picasso in the making!

Art and is taught through thematic enquiry and where appropriate, topics link to other subject areas.

Our excellent facilities enable a variety of processes and techniques to be covered: printmaking, ceramic work, photography, mixed media and textiles are taught alongside the more traditional drawing and painting skills. Critical and contextual studies are integrated within a strong practical framework. Above all, boys should leave Rokeby with confidence in their own personal response and a growing understanding of different art concepts. Pupils are encouraged to attend art clubs and nurture a real love of the subject. Special arrangements are made to help those who wish to sit an Art scholarship for a senior school, and visits to art galleries are arranged for several year groups. .
