Art
When you visit any of our schools, take a closer look at the walls and the grounds – stimulating and diverse displays give a hint of the exciting work created in our Art and Design departments.

The Art and Design Departments at GDST schools give a space in which creative and artistic imagination can take flight. It is somewhere that nurtures essential skills and expressive possibilities.

Our main aim is to produce confidence in all students that they have creative abilities. We work with a wide range of media to enable individuality and to promote students working towards their strengths.

Art Departments are relaxed, happy environments where students appreciate each others’ abilities.

We develop a variety of skills using many different media. This work will nurture abilities in Art and Design topics such as drawing and painting, 3D work, textiles, graphics, printmaking etc. This allows students to work towards their often very diverse strengths and produce individual, personal work.

GDST schools have many different events and exhibitions each year. These change depending on the theme of the current projects the girls are working on.

Many have an annual Fashion show in which students from a variety of different year groups make and model their own creations. We also have exhibitions so that the students can exhibit their coursework.
