STATEMENT OF INTENT
Art and Design plays an important part in the all round educations of young people. It provides for them unique ways of expressing ideas and feelings about the world they live in. The curriculum content of the Art and Design programme of study will prepare pupils for both natural and the manmade environment they live in. In keeping with the aims of the school, involvement in creative activity will encourage the development of worthwhile attitudes within each individual pupil. Co-operation, commitment, perseverance and tolerance demanded within the subject, contribute to the all round personal development of the pupil.
Within the subject pupils will be offered a broad range of activities which will encompass both attainment targets, investigating and realising. pupils will experiment with a wide range of both 2-D and 3-D media, developing the appropriate skills and techniques associated with them. Ongoing evaluation will foster a growing appreciation of not only their own work but that of their peers and also other artists, craftsperson's and designers within their own and other cultures.
