Our art rooms are spaces where learners are encouraged to experiment, make mistakes, and express themselves freely. Aligned with our school theme, “Step Up, Stand Out,” and our commitment to giving every child every chance, every day, our art programme focuses on developing practical techniques while building creative confidence.
Hands-On Creativity & Technique In the art room, learners get to work with a wide range of materials and mediums rather than just focusing on theory:
- Mediums & Techniques: Learners explore drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, and sculpture. They learn proper tool handling, brushwork, colour mixing, and how to work with different textures.
- Creative Expression: We don’t believe in cookie-cutter projects. Lessons are structured so learners learn fundamental skills, but have the freedom to make their own choices in their artwork.
- Art Appreciation: Learners look at works from South African and international artists, learning how to talk about visual elements and understand different cultural styles and perspectives.

Ons kunslokale is ruimtes waar leerders aangemoedig word om te eksperimenteer, foute te maak en hulself vryelik uit te druk. In lyn met ons skooltema, “Staan op en Staan uit” (Step Up, Stand Out), en ons verbintenis om elke kind elke kans, elke dag te gee, fokus ons kunsprogram op die ontwikkeling van praktiese tegnieke terwyl dit kreatiewe selfvertroue bou.
Praktiese Kreatiwiteit en Tegniek In die kunslokale werk leerders met ‘n wye verskeidenheid materiale en mediums in plaas daarvan om net op teorie te fokus:
- Mediums en Tegnieke: Leerders verken teken, skildering, drukwerk, keramiek en beeldhouwerk. Hulle leer behoorlike hantering van gereedskap, kwastegnieke, kleurvermenging en hoe om met verskillende teksture te werk.
- Kreatiewe Uitdrukking: Ons glo nie in een-vorm-pas-almal-projekte nie. Lesse word so gestruktureer dat leerders basiese vaardighede aanleer, maar die vryheid het om hul eie keuses in hul kunswerke te maak.
- Kunswaardering: Leerders kyk na werke van Suid-Afrikaanse en internasionale kunstenaars, en leer hoe om oor visuele elemente te praat en verskillende kulturele style en perspektiewe te verstaan.
