Art

Exposure to the creative arts, and the chance to develop and strengthen creativity, are real advantages of a Wellington education, with our Art and Design & Technology Departments at the very heart of the main building.

Art at Wellington is a creative and practical subject which demands visual intelligence, independent thinking and technical ability. Pupils are introduced to a wide range of media and techniques which include painting, drawing, printmaking, collage, sculpture, digital media and textiles.
