Art and the Community – The role of the artist in both the community and the workplace

Created by Gill Curry

What was the school trying to achieve?

The school wanted to engage and motivate the pupils and set high professional standards that, not only improved the pupil’s skills level, but also gave them a broader understanding of the role of the artist in both the community and the workplace.

The school already has an excellent relationship with the community and as an International School has strong links with other schools across the world.

It wanted to extend the successes of the Art and Design Department by organising extra curricular workshops for adults to run concurrently with an exhibition of pupils and artists in residence work at the Williamson Art Gallery. This artwork also supported the local hospital trust; the aim was to establish an inclusive curriculum
