15 things you might not know about Dulwich College...

We are a school for Creative Minds... Art and Design & Technology Both these subjects encourage pupils to think creatively and work independently, so they are prepared to take a GCSE in one or both subjects. In Art, students will develop the skills to work independently across a diverse range of media, discovering that creativity often has many possible solutions. They will explore various painting and drawing techniques, alongside hands-on sculptural practices in ceramics and 3D model-making. Students will also have the opportunity to delve into digital art, using industry- standard software like Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and Blender. In our fully equipped IT suite, they can create animated films, design visual effects, and craft motion graphics, expanding their creative potential in both traditional and digital mediums. “It is essential to push and challenge students beyond any preconceived ideas of what it means to ‘do art’; digital- media, plaster and cement casting as well as experimental film are all skills that Alleynians can explore.” In D&T each pupil learns how to shape, bend, and finish a mix of materials with various workshop hand tools and machinery. They will be introduced to virtual 3D modelling via our CAD package ‘Autodesk Inventor’ and use laser cutters and 3D printers.They also build a rechargeable flashlight and learn to program so that they can control a small Lego buggy.

“The arts define our culture our identity and our national

conversation.” Sir Peter Bazalgette OA
