When I first arrived in Chile, in order to visit the Grange in June\/July 2021, I was required to spend ten days in solitary quarantine before being freed to visit the School and the city. This was of course amidst the pandemic when such measures became necessary and, indeed, it was rather remarkable that I made it to Santiago at all; travelling from the other side of the world at that time was no mean feat. I mention this because such a period of enforced isolation gave me a rare gift: time and space to think, reflect and read. One of the first publications I picked up in my hotel room was a copy of the GRAF booklet from 2019 (a supply of Grange literature had been very thoughtfully prepared for me ahead of my arrival) and the theme that year was “Chiaroscuro”. I was very struck both by the concept and scale of the project but also thrilled that it reflected the centrality of the Arts at a School that I might, one day, be fortunate enough to lead.<\/p>

Thus it is both important and exciting, in equal measure, that this superb artistic project, now in its 5th year, will once again take centre stage for just a few days in September, but with the power to provide inspiration for many years to come. The theme this time is Vibrant Matter and when it was first presented to me as a concept, I was immediately taken by the wonderful art produced by OG Magdalena Vial which appears on the front cover of our publication this year. That the project also encapsulates the natural beauty of our environment, also seems entirely appropriate, as we all confront the challenge of climate change and the precarious nature of the world around us.<\/p>

The Arts at The Grange School work in collaboration to motivate and inspire pupils with the artistic process and its different expressions. This enables pupils to observe and perceive their environment with aesthetic sensibility and creativity, allowing them to develop their talents and to interweave the Arts<\/span> with traditions, cultural heritage, identity and sense of belonging within The Grange Community and the society.<\/span><\/p>

Art insists on us opening up towards poetic proposals. More than static tales, it invites us to return the gaze over the unnoticed everyday life. To see and to feel. To avert your gaze and imagine. To stop and feel time, the process required by a work of art. To signify the observation of our surroundings in order to create fragments that allow us to glimpse unique stories. <\/span><\/p>

The Arts at The Grange School (Music, Art & Drama) encourages pupils to express themselves from an artistic point of view, valuing the creative process, the individual and collaborative work and the use of skills and technique.<\/p>

Music, Art & Drama Departments motivates pupils to perceive, observe, reflect and make connections using creativity.<\/p>

Senses and feelings are also relevant aspects for their pupil\u2019s well being and the artistic process, which stimulates their self-confidence and value pupils culture, environment, history and daily life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
