Art & Design – Subject Intent
“Every child is an artist.” Pablo Picasso (artist)
In our Art & Design lessons we ROCK!
- Respectful – we are respectful when we evaluate and analyse creative works using subject specific language
- Open Minded – we are open minded to styles of art from around the world and express our thoughts and ideas as we learn about the heritage and culture of the British Isles
- Curious – we are curious and experiment with techniques, materials and styles to invent our own works of art
- Kind – we are kind when we share our creative ideas with each other
In conclusion, we ROCK!
