Art

Enabling and developing “visual literacy” is fundamental to all the teaching and learning within the Art department. Our students are encouraged to find creative solutions whilst developing a variety of skills and a sound knowledge base. An understanding and appreciation of art, in its widest sense, is essential to the natural development of sensitive, imaginative and aware human beings. Giving visual form to inner feelings and external appearances helps students to understand the world in which they live whilst also encouraging self confidence and a spirit of enquiry.

Classes are taught in the main Art studio which provides for both two and three-dimensional work. Importantly, the department recognises that students can learn a great deal from each other as well as from their teachers. Communication and discussion are widely encouraged throughout and between the age ranges. A principal role of the teachers is to provide appropriate facilities and equipment to enable all the students to develop their work in a safe and conducive environment. Opportunities to study and research in galleries and other locations, both within Switzerland and abroad, form an important part of our curriculum. A distinguishing characteristic of the department is the wide variety and breadth of approaches to both problem solving and outcomes. The department enjoys significant exam success and each year a number of Aiglon students continue their studies at some of the foremost Art, Architecture and Design colleges throughout the world.
