ART SCHOLARSHIPS
What more does the scholarship offer? Pupils will attend an art scholar activity which takes place after school once a week in addition to receiving guidance from the Art Department to continue developing their art portfolio at home. All art materials will be provided by St Andrew’s Prep in order for the pupils to best develop their talents. How are pupils assessed? The Head of Art is looking for enthusiasm, imagination and creative flair for the subject, as well as strong observational skills and the ability to appreciate and control materials.
Avril Swanepoel, Head of Art, will be happy to answer any queries that parents or prospective pupils may have and can be contacted at aswanepoel@standrewsprep.co.uk

• Artworks executed from various viewpoints which have been carried out both at home and at school.
• At least one full sketch book which should show a high level of observational drawing skills of objects such as plants, people, pets, etc.
3D models should be photographed rather than brought in as items could break in transit.
