Musicality and Artistic Traits
Bedales School has always had a wide and varied curriculum. An area of particular notability, however, is its musical and artistic focus which has been the bedrock for the careers of many successful instrumentalists, artists, designers, photographers, actors and singers. They include Ben Adams (singer and songwriter), Lily Allen (singer), Teddy Thompson (singer/songwriter and musician), Grace Barnsley (pottery decorator), Jamie Campbell Bower (actor), Daniel Day-Lewis (actor), Minnie Driver (actress) Allan Gwynne-Jones (painter), Iris Lemare (conductor) Harriet Logan (photographer), Gervase de Peyer (clarinetist, pianist and conductor), Luke Pritchard (singer), Natalia Tena (actress), Juno Temple (actress) and Sir Peter Wright (ballet dancer and director).

Famous quotes containing the words artistic and/or traits:
“I think “taste” is a social concept and not an artistic one. I’m willing to show good taste, if I can, in somebody else’s living room, but our reading life is too short for a writer to be in any way polite. Since his words enter into another’s brain in silence and intimacy, he should be as honest and explicit as we are with ourselves.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“Practically everyone now bemoans Western man’s sense of alienation, lack of community, and inability to find ways of organizing society for human ends. We have reached the end of the road that is built on the set of traits held out for male identity—advance at any cost, pay any price, drive out all competitors, and kill them if necessary.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
