Art and Design

Creative development encompasses art and design at Bishop Martin. We believe art is very important as it enables children to gain a broad and well-rounded education and allows children to develop their imagination and creativity. It teaches children to express themselves both as a means of self-expression and to communicate with others, helping children to understand the world visually. We would like Art to unleash the child’s creativity, ensuring that art is a pleasurable experience, where children engage in sessions with enthusiasm. Art sessions are skills and knowledge based, built upon year on year, enabling children to create their own work based on knowledge and skills. Our Art curriculum reflects our diverse society. Artists are carefully selected to ensure that there are artists from a range of backgrounds, which the children can relate to and be inspired by. Art and design can also support children with their problem solving and analytical skills, as pictures can allow children to explore and test out ideas.
