Art
Lostock Art department has established an ethos within the school which endeavors to value the artistic creations of all students and staff.
We offer numerous opportunities for young people to thrive and to develop their skills. It is the department that never closes… students value the atmosphere and close relationships which instill a strong work ethic, mutual respect and independence.
Art, craft and design embody some of the highest forms of human creativity. A high-quality art and design education should engage, inspire and challenge students, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment invent and create their own works of art, craft and design. As students progress, they should be able to think critically and develop a more rigorous understanding of art and design. They should also know how art and design both reflect and shape our history, and contribute to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation.
Art Department Values:
- To always have a go and try your best.

- To take pride and ownership of the quality and success of class and homework.
- To have the confidence to rise to new challenges and be prepared to take risks.
