Welcome to Art and Design

Creativity is critical thinking. DT and Art opens passages and possibilities to think beyond what we already know. Without these subjects we would not have innovation. The outliers in other fields such as Mathematics or Science are the most creative people. Art and DT define the identity of a nation and is deeply inbedded in humanity. Art and DT allow students to find out who they are, and they are all different.
