Visual Arts

Visual Arts at Barker is a large scale, energetic enterprise. We aim to engender an enjoyment in creating artworks and an understanding that the student’s world is a source of stimulating ideas.

 

We engage our students in lifelong learning as critical consumers of life in the 21st century: they debate and critically question fine art in the mainstream, and art in the public/popular domains of graphic design, packaging, film and advertising.

 

Visual Arts students at Barker are offered a wide range of media with specialist teachers in wet photography, painting, film and video, sculpture, digital media, graphic design, printmaking, drawing, animation, designed objects, and textiles.

 

We engage the students with real-life scenarios in their studies, use cutting-edge artists and designers, writing reviews and creating exhibition catalogues. Excursions, art camps, visiting artists, workshops and after-school activities are an integral part of the Visual Arts course.
