Art and Design is 'championed' at Blackwater School by Ms. Shuttleworth and Mrs. Sprinkles
|
Art Statement of Intent |
At Blackwater, art is an integral part of school life. We believe that art is at the centre of developing innovation, creativity, critical thinking as well as being a vehicle for self discovery and expression. After all humans have been drawing for over thirty thousand years! We endeavour to deliver a high quality art and design curriculum encouraging and inspiring our children create, innovate and embark on a journey of discovery of themselves and the wider world. Our art and design curriculum engages children in a progressive programme of ‘learning to do’ and ‘learning about.’
