“Art is a line around your thoughts”
– Gustav Klimt –
Art skills and techniques need to be taught and developed in Key Stage 3 to lead up to creating confident GCSE and A level artists. The idea of art not just being about drawing, gains art appreciation and understanding. Our playful approach of exploring a range of materials is in the effort to inspire imagination and interest in the subject. The exploration of a wide range of materials, techniques and processes helps embed the skills and creativity that we want our learners to leave with.
