Clatford School Art

Intent

At Clatford School we believe that Art promotes the development of the imagination. It allows pupils to create their own works and also experience and interpret the work of artists, craft workers and designers from a range of cultures and contexts, times and places. Through their own work, children will develop skills specific to art, craft and design, but as importantly, life skills of resilience and acceptance of development of ideas. Pupil’s understanding of how ideas and feelings can be communicated is developed through visual, and sometimes tactile experiences. We aim to encourage the children to take a pride in their own achievements and to respect their own and others’ work.
