Art and Design
“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.”
Pablo Picasso
Art is a diverse range of human activities in creating visual, auditory or performing artefacts, expressing the author's imaginative, conceptual ideas, or technical skill, intended to be appreciated for their beauty or emotional power.
At Harris Primary Academy Shortlands, we are committed to providing all children with the learning opportunities to engage in art and design. We believe in a broad and balanced curriculum. The quality of art and design is seen as a key contributor to the provision of the spiritual, moral, social and cultural values of our academy.
We believe that visual arts enable children to become visually literate and allow children of this academy to imagine and express themselves artistically and creatively. We believe it is important to equip children with the knowledge, experience and skills to create pieces of art that is both inspiring and engaging. Art and design can signpost career pathway to creative, cultural and heritage industries as well as a creative subject. Visual arts form a part of creative industries that are expected to continue to expand. We want every child to have these opportunities and to become more inquisitive about the world and their environment. We want them to see and use their imagination and understanding and express visually how arts have shaped our history, how it is currently viewed and how it will shape their future.
