Art

The Art department at OSCA 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 Level 2 BTEC art and design course is a popular option choice and the department is justifiably proud of the results achieved by the students.

The faculty consists of 3 teaching rooms, used by KS3 and KS4 and a specialised art room for sixth form students to have their own individual work area.
