Art and Design

Our goal for Art and Design is to foster a love of art in our children to promote self-expression and positive wellbeing. We aim to equip our children with cultural capital through an intellectually challenging & creatively demanding curriculum. Authentic engagement with a diverse range of artists, will encourage our children to be resilient young artists who employ our three ‘Big Ideas’ to create amazing art:

Inspiration: As an artist, I am inspired by the lives and work of other artists and use this knowledge to inspire my own work.
Exploration: As an artist, I love to explore what effects I can achieve using a range of different techniques and media, using resilience to build my skill set.
Expression: As an artist, I express what I think and feel about art and express my creativity, knowledge and skills through my works of art.

At Grimsargh St. Michael’s our Art curriculum goes beyond the lessons each week. We have lots of opportunities for the children to express themselves through artwork in different capacities, such as work displayed around school and in our Church, work displayed around the local community for a desired effect, and getting involved in community events to share our talents in art.

Mrs Aspinall is our Art and Design leader. Please contact her via the school office (01772 653600) with any queries or questions.
