Teacher in charge: Mrs B. Rautenbach
Visual Art is a subject in which learners are exposed to a wide variety of options. We teach drawing, painting, mixed media, sculpture, digital design (photography based) and Visual Culture Studies.
All these components are taught and a natural aptitude for art is not required - only hard work and enthusiasm.
Not only does the subject promote creativity, but also enables the learner to think and work independently and laterally. There are as many solutions to the same problem as there are learners in the class. This skill encourages time planning and self-discipline - essential for anyone whether they become educators or business persons.
It also provides an emotional outlet in a safe and structured environment providing much needed stress relief for learners.
