Art
Art, craft and design embody some of the highest forms of human creativity. A high-quality art and design education should engage, inspire and challenge pupils, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design. As pupils progress, they should be able to think critically and develop a more rigorous understanding of art and design. They should also know how art and design both reflect and shape our history, and contribute to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation.
Have a look at the video resource centre to find out about our Big Draw day, we have such a lot of fun when we get creative.
Land Art Project 2024
In the summer of 2024 pupils took part in a very exciting land art project with the very talented Kate Raggett. Kate is a Land and Environmental Artist who makes earthwork drawings using natural found materials to express the sensation and deeper experience of being in the landscape. The earthwork drawings are temporary, site-specific works made in direct response to the rhythms and patterns of the materials used and land they are sited within. The drawings are not preconceived but emerge in the moment of their making following the flow of their natural environment.
The children created this Mandala out of just lids (mainly bottle tops) and the results were stunning. It brought about lots of conversations about natural art, the importance of recycling and looking after our environment. We estimated that we used roughly 5,000 bottle tops to create this masterpiece.
