ART
“Every artist was first an amateur.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Art, as a creative and expressive subject, offers a unique platform for us to explore and reinforce our values. Through various art activities and projects, our pupils have the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of each value and develop their artistic skills simultaneously.
Hope
Art holds the power to inspire hope, ignite imagination, and bring forth a sense of optimism. Through art, our pupils explore different themes and concepts that encourage them to envision a better world and believe in their ability to make a positive difference.
Respect
Art promotes the understanding and appreciation of diverse perspectives, cultures, and art forms. By engaging in various art techniques and studying the work of different artists, our pupils learn to respect and value the creativity, talent, and individuality of others.
Wisdom
Art encourages critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills. It challenges our pupils to think outside the box, experiment with different materials, and make thoughtful choices. Art also provides a platform for self-reflection, allowing pupils to develop their emotional intelligence and express their thoughts and feelings in a constructive manner.
Community
Art has the remarkable ability to bring people together and foster a sense of belonging. Our pupils collaborate on group projects, participate in community art events (Heritage Week), and showcase their work to peers, parents, and members of the wider community. Through these experiences, they learn the value of teamwork, empathy, and the positive impact art can have on creating a strong and vibrant community.
