Art Department Vision

Children are all naturally inquisitive. Our vision is to develop and encourage children to capture their creativity and recognise how they can utilise creative thinking to become independent learners and resourceful adults.

Students will be supported to make connections between how open minded thinking provides opportunities to explore something new, try out ideas, explore ways of thinking, be resilient in finding solutions to problems and immerse themselves creatively whilst also making something to be proud of.

Students will learn how to be analytical when appreciating the work of others who can provide inspirational triggers for their own work. This will help students value a range of sources, skills and techniques that can be drawn from history, culture and practice.

By participating in independent and collaborative activities, students will have time to acknowledge and celebrate theirs and others uniqueness, diversity, and sense of place without inhibiting factors.

We aim to nurture the whole student to encourage self-expression, a way to form something from personal feelings, experiences or influences with uniqueness, functional or decorative purpose.
