We have designed a diverse, skills-based curriculum to ensure that students have opportunities to progress using a variety of mediums and techniques throughout their time at Riversides School.
Students will study an array of artists from the likes of Picasso, Van Gogh and Sarah Biffin to artists who are alive today, including Kenturah Davis and Jack Kabangu.
