Art and Design

Art and Design

Art, craft and design embody some of the highest forms of human creativity. They reflect and shape our history, and contribute to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation. We aim to engage and inspire children by linking art and design themes to class topics, focussing on great artists, craft makers and designers and exploring the historical and cultural development of art.

Children are encouraged to explore their own ideas, develop their creativity and gain proficiency in techniques, including drawing, painting and sculpture.

Children’s art is celebrated through displays both in school and at community events and through participation in school festivals, such as the annual Eisteddfod and Archenfield Arts.
