At Wellfield, our Art and Design curriculum inspires creativity, curiosity and self-expression, encouraging pupils to explore new ideas, experiment with different materials and develop their artistic skills. Through studying a range of artists, designers and techniques, pupils learn to appreciate art in its many forms while developing confidence, resilience and problem-solving skills. Art and Design is an important part of our school because it celebrates individuality, enriches learning and empowers every pupil to express themselves, think creatively and see the world from different perspectives.
This week, the whole school has been taking part in Art Week. Check out our virtual gallery below!
In Year 5, we have been exploring imagery and how it can connect us to people and places through storytelling.
Our work was based on The Secret Garden. We have considered how camera angles, effects and lighting can tell a story. We have analysed existing photographs, created our own images which tell a story, discovered careers in photography and finally created alternative key art posters for The Secret Garden.
