Art

At Cargilfield Art is taught by a specialist from P3 upwards. Art and Design activities promote discovery and understanding of ideas and feelings as well as providing a means of expressing these visually. Pupils develop their ability to invent, create and interpret images and objects; design, make and evaluate; and gain insight to technological processes.

Pupils explore shape, line, form, colour, tone, pattern and texture. A wide variety of media, techniques and crafts are used in the execution of their artwork becoming more complex as they mature.

The importance of observational drawing cannot be overstated and is the basis for all study and development work.

As well as class lessons, there are Art Clubs within the department every morning, some afternoons and some evenings.There is also a Pre-Prep Art Club one afternoon a week. There are a significant number of pupils who regularly attend these sessions.

We prepare pupils with outstanding ability to produce portfolios and sit Art Scholarships for their senior schools.
