Traditional and Contemporary
The Arts at St Andrew's provide a medium for exploration, social criticism, and entertainment across both curricular and co-curricular contexts.
Visual Art at St Andrew's provides a platform for expression, encouraging students to seek creative solutions to complex problems and work with different mediums to articulate their individual style. While engagement in Drama encourages students to explore the way humans think, feel, and communicate; learning to understand others and themselves in the community and the greater world in which we live. Students at St Andrew's develop skills in drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture, live performance and more.
Through The Arts, students develop creative talents and skills that are transferable to not only artistic, but also social and work-related contexts in their lives. Students discover how the process of making art communicates philosophies, viewpoints, situations, beliefs and emotions to a wide audience.
