Art
The Art Curriculum at Brentfield:
At Brentfield Primary School, we believe that Art should be accessible to all children. They participate in projects throughout the year, which enables them to develop their creativity and increase risk taking. The creative curriculum taught in our school, exposes and encourages our children to explore their own and others’ cultural heritages. Studying a range of male and female artists from different social and cultural backgrounds inspires children to be resilient, determined and driven. At Brentfield Primary, we want our children to understand that Art is a subject that should be learnt, practised and celebrated. Our mission is to train our children in giving and receiving constructive criticism- a vital life skill. Being criticised should not be something to dread but rather welcomed and be seen as a chance to improve to achieve ones best.
We aim to do this by exposing our children to creative learning experiences, which will develop their cultural capital. Working with secondary schools, attending class trips, workshops and theatre productions will show our children that the world they live in offers them wide-ranging opportunities. Our goal is to create global citizens who constantly strive to achieve personal goals regardless any obstacles that can come their way.
