Art and Design

Home > Curriculum  > More Curriculum  > Curriculum 1 > Art and Design

At St. Mary’s School we believe that teaching and learning in art is important because it stimulates creativity, imagination and inventiveness. The purpose of art education is to give pupils the skills, concepts and knowledge necessary for them to express responses to ideas and experiences in a visual or tactile form. It fires their imagination and is a fundamental means of personal expression.

Through our Art and Design curriculum we teach the children:

  • Drawing
  • Paint and colour
  • Print
  • Clay
  • Construction
  • Fabric and fibre.

How to help your child at home

You can promote your child’s creative side by helping them to explore the different aspects of art mentioned above. From simple drawing and colouring (to promote their fine motor skills), to painting or making models out of recycled materials – can all help develop your child’s creative side.

Below are some ideas for creative activities your child could do at home.
