Bishop Challoner Catholic school

Art is a popular choice for students at Bishop Challoner School. GCSE Art & Design is taught from Year 10 onwards. 

The work in the online exhibition comprises a selection of pieces from our Year 8, Year 9 and Year 10 students and our current Year 11 GCSE group.

Identity is the overall theme that our GCSE students are inspired by and engage with, partly through an exploration of portraiture. The exhibits include examples of portraits students have created in the style of artists they have been influenced by. The artwork our students create at all Key Stages often illustrates their diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

Students explore a wide range of artists’ work to inspire and inform their practical outcomes.  

Students at all Key Stages actively seek inspiration from artists’ work as a departure point to develop their own ideas, techniques and handling of materials
