Art

The art department has its own website - www.atsarts.com

Art is a foundation subject and fundamental to every practical design-based subject taught at Archbishop Tenison's School.

Art and all activities therein are a way of enabling the children to discover themselves and to make sense of the world in which they live. Its a language for creation, communication and discovery.

As a subject it is made available to all pupils, regardless of race, culture, sex, religion or ability. Every child's response, individual skill, ideas postulated, concepts generated and work produced is valued highly. Each child should be encouraged, and we hope that every child will acquire an understanding of the value of art education and education through Art.

It is hoped that the confidence gained through visual expression will carry through to other subject areas and will eventually lead to the enhancement of personal and social skills.

There is a need for emphasis on the formative experience that Art gives children and on its value to all aspects of the curriculum - and life in general.

Art is Life.
