Art

At Papplewick, education in art is seen as a time in the week when pupils are encouraged to extend not only their powers of creativity, imagination and awareness of the visual world, but also as an opportunity to develop their mental powers. We follow a structured teaching programme which builds upon their skills as they progress through the school. We encourage an appreciation of different cultures and artists throughout history. Papplewick has a well-equipped art room with facilities for both ceramics and printmaking. 

Boys showing potential are invited to attend extra art activities and are expected to work with commitment. They will compile an extensive portfolio, and those who are able will be prepared for the process of taking an Art Scholarship to their chosen senior schools. Serious applicants have a truly demanding and time-consuming task but also have much to gain. As well as the art scholars who have enjoyed considerable success over the years, emphasis is placed very much upon the progress of all boys throughout the school. .
