The visual arts are central to life at Saint Felix. We have been awarded the Gold Arts Mark twice as recognition for the quality and range of our provision for all students. Our three studio spaces are spacious, light, airy and well equipped.

     

 

     

Attendance at life drawing classes is expected of all students studying art at GCSE and A level. Within a supportive environment we encourage students to work on a large scale, to experiment freely with techniques and learn new skills in order to develop their own personal visual language. Each student can gain the self confidence and ability needed to express themselves creatively. The department is always available to seniors to use in their free study time in order for them to finish off coursework and develop their work further.  

         

At GCSE, we offer several options within the art and design framework – fine art, textiles, 3D, photography and unendorsed. For GCSE students must produce two coursework projects plus one project set by the AQA examination board.
