In the Art Department at Cardinal Winning Secondary, young people are encouraged to explore a wide variety of materials and techniques. Focus is placed on process-based artmaking, wherein the act of making and being creative is prioritised, and learners are enabled to pursue their own interests and inspirations wherever possible. Over S1-S3, learners will engage with drawing, painting, printmaking, textiles and sculptural techniques, alongside investigating the work of artists from a range of eras, including Phyllida Barlow, Rachel Whiteread, Vincent Van Gogh and Wilhelmina Barns-Graham. Alongside classroom-based learning, pupils have also had the opportunity to engage with cultural institutions and charities, such as Project Ability, GoMA and The Royal Academy in London.
