Art and Design is a practical and experiential subject which enables pupils to enhance their creative talent and develop their artistic skills by integrating knowledge of art and design practice with practical activities.
This approach will help learners use their developing understanding of artists’ and designers’ work and practice to inform and influence the development of their own creative ideas.
Pupils are encouraged to develop their individual creativity and personal self-expression, and:
- Gain knowledge, understanding and appreciation of artists’ and designers’ work and practice
- Communicate personal thoughts, feelings and ideas using art and design media, materials, techniques and/or technologies
- Work imaginatively and creatively, developing their problem-solving, thinking and reflective practice skills
- Understand the impact of external influences on artists and designers and the work they produce.
