Outline of Current Courses provided by the Art
Department
At KS3 the Art course at Bellemoor is
designed to offer a broad artistic experince to pupils delivered
in 3 modules. These modules are Painting and Drawing, Printing
and IT, and, Sculpture. Pupils follow each course for one term,
with the result that, by the end of the year, pupils have been
introduced to a wide range of artisic disciplines.
At KS4 pupils follow a course of 6 projects leading up to a final exam. Each project provides the opportunity to explore their own ideas and approach to their work within the frameowork of a given design brief.
Pupils produce six projects of work over the course of their two years
which forms the coursework component of their exam.
In addition, pupils complete a timed test piece of work which
forms the Exam Piece.
60% of the final GCSE grade will be based on coursework and 40% will be based on the Exam piece.
Links to useful Websites
To help students with independent reasearch, investigation, or further help with project
work, we have provided a page of links
to web sites that should be of some help.

The art department has also organised several trips,
activities and events,
including trips to The Tate Gallery, a trip to
Barcelona and organised a group of
boys to take part in to take part in the
Schools Initiative Project in conjunction with the City
Art Gallery
