Art & Design at Rochester Independent
Art & Design | Ages 13 – 17
Develop your artistic mind and identity by exploring the creative process, forms of expression and design thinking. Explore themes such as mental health, sustainability, the environment and peace through media such as art, sculpture, architecture, film and storytelling.
Our course is practical, hands-on and creative from the very start. Through a series of guided tuition, active workshops and independent or collaborative tasks, you will learn the finer details of different forms of art and design before experimenting with each of them to communicate, problem-solve and inspire.
Key sessions include:
At the end of each week, students will have the opportunity to showcase their work in a series of presentations and displays across the College campus. This is a fantastic opportunity for students to show off all the new skills and techniques they have learned during the course.
Examples of these projects include:
In addition to art and design sessions, our programmes also include a range of fun social activities that our art and design students play a key role in developing and leading, putting all their creative skills into practice in a real performative situation.
As you discover different forms of expression throughout your course you will collect all the work you produce into a formal portfolio, packed with all the prototypes, unfinished drafts (you never know where you will find your next great idea!) and final products you design over the week, forming an impressive and energising collection of your own art.
