About

Welcome to the Rosses Community School Art Department.

Here at the Rosses Community School, the subject of Art, Craft and Design has an important role to play in the curriculum.

It encourages creativity, visual awareness, manual skills, lateral thinking, problem solving and activities of the right brain hemisphere – that side of the brain which is intuitive, artistic and creative. 

The Art Department believes that art contributes to the personal development of the individual. Through its study the student will realize the vocational significance of Art in their lives and in that of their communities.

Our main aim is to develop Visual Literacy in other words the ability to think in terms of a visual language. We believe everyone has the capacity to be creative. Creativity is not limited to the chosen few any more than learning is in another subject. 

Art, Craft and Design is an option subject at the Rosses Community School and is a very popular choice among students.
