Visual Arts
The Visual Arts Department at Aloha College Marbella offers a vibrant and inclusive space where creativity is nurtured, individuality is celebrated and artistic expression is encouraged at every level. Students are welcomed into a dynamic learning environment where they are free to explore ideas, experiment with different media and grow at their own pace.
From painting and drawing to digital design and mixed media, students develop technical skills while also learning to communicate their ideas visually and conceptually. Our goal is to foster a creative community where artistic vision can flourish and imagination knows no bounds.
Collaborative Art & Drama
Our rich co-curricular offering includes after-school clubs such as plein air drawing, craft and mixed media and collaborative art projects. A highlight of the department is the partnership between Art and Drama students, with our student set design team creating stage backdrops, props and 3D models for the annual school production. These collaborative projects allow students to develop hands-on skills while building friendships and a shared sense of purpose.
Art is embedded in our school culture, with student work displayed throughout the campus, curated exhibitions and practical applications such as the house team hoodie and T-shirt logos, designed by a Sixth Form student to bring a bold, fresh identity to our house system.
The department places strong emphasis on drawing and painting, particularly the development of observational skills and representational accuracy, while also encouraging conceptual exploration. For students in the Sixth Form, dedicated studio spaces are available to support independent work and personal creative development beyond lesson time.
We are proud to offer specialist facilities including:
✔ A printmaking studio with an etching press
✔ A fully equipped ceramics studio with kiln and potter’s wheel
✔ A traditional darkroom for black-and-white photography
These resources allow students to explore a wide range of techniques and approaches as they find their own artistic voice.
