Our intent for Art & Design education at St Thomas has three main aspirations at its centre:
To provide each child with the space and opportunity to express themselves through a range of Art mediums via cross-curricular lessons and activities aimed at broadening knowledge, understanding and appreciation for different artistic styles, backgrounds and cultures
To Inspire, engage and challenge children through a high-quality Art & Design curriculum, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create Artwork linked to six fundamental skills (colour, drawing, form, painting, pattern and printing)
To give all children the opportunity to identify and study great artists and designers, and give them the space to critically analyse and evaluate creative works, including their own creations
