“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” – Picasso
At St Breock, we value art and design as an important part of the children’s entitlement to a broad and balanced curriculum and an essential means of self-expression and creativity. All children participate in engaging and inspiring lessons that challenge them and equip them with the knowledge and skills needed to experiment, create and appreciate visual art.
Our art and design curriculum aims to:
- Provide rich opportunities for children to explore and experiment with a wide range of materials, techniques and artistic media.
- Develop the skills and confidence to express ideas and emotions through drawing, painting, sculpture and other art forms, supporting their emotional expression and enhancing their personal development during their time at St Breock.
- Build the ability to plan, create and refine their own artwork through thoughtful decision-making and reflection.
- Encourage critical thinking and creativity by evaluating their own work and the work of others.
- Inspire children by studying significant artists, craftspeople and movements from a range of time and cultures.
