St. Monica's Catholic Primary School
Art and Design
At St. Monica’s our Mission Statement prompts us all to ‘Never stop trying’ and ‘Aim to be the best we can be’. In planning how we teach art, craft and design, these statements inspire us to provide a curriculum that embodies some of the highest forms of human creativity. A high-quality art and design education should engage, inspire and challenge pupils, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment invent and create their own works of art, craft and design. As pupils progress, they should be able to think critically and develop a more rigorous understanding of art and design. They should also know how art and design both reflect and shape our history, and contribute to the culture, creativity and wealth of our nation.
If you were to walk into an Art lesson at St Monica's you would see:
Children who are enthusiastic about their learning and are producing work with a range of media
Children who are able to discuss their artwork and the artist/art movement that has inspired their creations
Children who take pride in their work and are keen to showcase their taught skills
