IC6 Visual Arts Scholarship (Art and Photography)

What is it?

Visual Art Scholars will demonstrate enthusiasm for Art and/or Photography and will have developed excellent and refined drawing skills or outstanding photographic skill and show creativity in handling a variety of media. We shall be looking at the students’ potential rather than expecting highly finished work.

The benefits on offer will contribute to a richer learning experience and better preparation for a career in the arts. Scholars will be expected to regularly visit exhibitions to expand their knowledge as well as participating in competitions in and outside of school.

Scholars programme

Art and Photography scholars will have the opportunity to work with skilled practising and visiting artists in their own field of works to support the development of their portfolio strengthening applications to Arts Universities. 

Art scholars will collaborate with animators or special effects, prosthetics and make-up artists, film-makers  and marketing professionals in order to support and enhance our scholars' experience within the Arts, helping them gain as much insight and experience as possible in these fields.  

Photography scholars will have the possibility of shadowing a professional photographer on a shoot.

Expectations

  • Visual Arts Scholars are expected to run Photography and Art clubs for lower years as well as represent  the departments at Open days, Taster sessions and fun Art and Photography activities.
  • To give our scholars further responsibility they will be invited to be young leaders on lower and middle school gallery outings and as well as mentors to our budding lower school artists and photographers.
  • They will also get the opportunity to help GCSE visual arts pupils in after school clinics to impart their knowledge and understanding of the subject, empowering their leadership and teaching skills.

How to apply

  • Letter of Application and interview
  • External applicants will need to provide a portfolio of their work
