What is Art?
The environment in which you are growing up in is fast, impatient and forever disconnected from real experiences. More and more our reliance on technology holds us back instead of letting us connect with each other and our surroundings.
Art at Sarum Academy will give you the opportunity not only to look but to see, question, understand and reflect, analyse critically and articulate creatively whilst building your confidence and enabling new skills.
What will I study in Art?
Studying a wide range of artists and movements
Working with several media including drawing, painting, printing, sculpture, digital media and photography
You'll be assessed through a range of portfolios and timed exam periods
Where will Art take me?

This BTEC and A Level structure is flexible and dynamic, directly supporting individual progression to further and higher education, providing you with a rich platform to inspire lifelong skills in Art preparing you for a culturally rich and creative future.
