The Art department at Queen’s has an energetic and creative ethos, which is reflected in the wide range of disciplines offered; Painting, Drawing, Life Drawing, Printmaking, Photography, Construction, Sculpture and Installation.
The department places contextual studies as an integral element in all its courses with a strong emphasis placed upon contemporary female artists. We make the most of our central London location by taking pupils on a wide variety of trips and visits to galleries, museums and exhibitions.
Students are encouraged to aim high and reach their full creative potential through working to their own personal creative strengths. Experimentation, problem-solving, risk-taking and above all fostering a sense of fun and love for Art are all key values of the department.
Art and Design is taught to all years in the School with a large intake at GCSE and A-level. Many students go on to study Art at Foundation and Degree Level at prestigious Art schools including Leeds, Central St Martins and Kingston University.
