Art and Design
Art and Design As part of the Level 11 Art & Design programme, students discussed street art and the work by Banksy, the anonymous artist. Students had the opportunity to share ideas about global issues, terrorism, political authority and capitalism. They then created their own stencils and sprayed graffiti art to decorate the Senior School corridors throughout the final weeks before the Christmas break.
