Art
A fresh, energetic and dynamic department, the art staff at Outwood Academy Adwick are constantly thinking of exciting projects for the students who enrol onto art & design courses.
As well as introducing students to a diverse and contemporary range of artists, we also encourage students to be as creative as possible when working with different media. This could be anything from creating tonal drawings with charcoal to painting with non-traditional tools like card and twigs.
We have also started Saturday Art Sessions for 6th form students. In these sessions, we pledge to take students on gallery visits on Saturday mornings; one gallery per half term, six gallery visits per academic year.
