Art at HSEA
When something draws our attention, what do we really see? Our Art Programme encourages learners to look deeper, question their environment, and understand how it influences their way of thinking and being. It is a space where learners think visually, allowing critical, emotional and contextual understanding. The aim is to encourage research, questioning and exploration while developing a visual vocabulary along with familiarisation of processes and techniques. With practice, creativity grows organically, ideas expand and conscious selection of material choices develop.
In the Primary section, the focus is on discovery and exploration. Children are encouraged to express themselves freely without arriving at a predetermined outcome.
In Middle School, skill-building practices such as observational drawing, colour application, and working with three-dimensional materials are introduced. Projects start to become concept based.
Art in High School brings together the core aspects of the programme - ways of seeing, technical skills, critical thinking, and the ability to present thoughtful work. Additionally, students who have chosen art as an exam subject are mentored individually and receive guidance on building a portfolio.

Wild World Within, Art Exhibition, December 22nd & 23rd 2022
In an under-construction auditorium at HSEA we decided to warm this ‘Chamber of Secrets’ or ‘Dungeon’ as the space is now popularly known, with an art exhibition. Students from Grades 4-12 sent in entries, exhibited work made on walls, scrolls, through shadows, and joined in the spirit of celebrating art and expression.
