Art and Design

In the Teesdale School art department, we are constantly amazed at how creative our students are and how they approach different tasks with individuality and enthusiasm. We are very lucky to have a department with the best views in school which make our classes a lovely place to be.

Art and design lessons at Teesdale School are well resourced, with a kiln for glass and ceramic work, good ICT facilities and a forthcoming dark room and photography studio to enable students to develop their ideas using photography.

Art and design is a popular subject, not only to take as an option, but also at lunchtimes and after school, where a whole range of different activities take place. We pride ourselves on being a vibrant, mutually respectful and inclusive department, where we are always open for students wishing to come and be creative. Students enjoy the opportunity to express themselves, explore using different materials and techniques and develop new ideas from looking at the work of artists and cultures.

I love art lessons at Teesdale and I was really pleased with my latest assessment where we had to draw a human skull. I felt really proud because I created a good 3D effect and I did this using shading. I was really pleased with the outcome.

Art gives me the freedom to express myself. I enjoy developing my ideas through using photography as well as exploring different materials and techniques. I also enjoy looking at the work of various artists to help me come up with new ideas.
