Art for everyone

Art is a structured part of the timetable in Shell and then a subject choice through the rest of the school. The Art School not only endorses the structured teaching of examination criteria but is flexible in accommodating individual pupil’s creativity and aspirations. We nurture imaginative, critical thinking and provide opportunities to communicate creative initiatives, techniques and original ideas, all of which contribute to a highly rewarding artistic life at Marlborough.

Varied creative methods of tuition are practised, through art forms ranging from the core discipline of observational drawing, to the use of digital media. From experimental printmaking or ceramics to sculpture and painting workshops, every pupil’s personal artistic process, knowledge and interests are enriched. This initiates a greater visual sensitivity to life in general and enables a more articulate visual dialogue within our pupils’ art.
