ART AND DESIGN

"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep", this inspiring quote by John Scott Adams reflects our approach to Art and Design. We believe art is a journey of discovery, a powerful language for understanding our world.

​

The National Curriculum provides a strong foundation in art, enabling pupils to appreciate and create art with confidence. We encourage intellectual curiosity, teaching pupils to "read" the visual language of artists and develop their own interpretations. Pupils will learn to draw inspiration from others and the world around them, crafting unique artistic responses.

​

As pupils progress, they'll develop critical thinking and a deeper understanding of art's historical and cultural significance. Art and Design shape our history and contribute to our creativity and identity.

​

At Kenton College Preparatory School, our Art and Design Department aims to:

  • Develop a love for learning through exciting art experiences.

  • Enrich lives with diverse creative opportunities.

  • Connect art with other subjects.

  • Build strong art skills and knowledge.

  • Foster deep understanding and real-world connections.

  • Encourage creative problem-solving.

  • Develop independent and collaborative work skills.

  • Consider individual interests.

  • Highlight the value and relevance of art.

  • Promote positive contributions to the school and community.
     

We nurture each pupils potential, helping them find their artistic passions. Our engaging environment fosters intellectual, emotional, social, physical and moral growth. We aim to develop resilient, confident and considerate individuals who embrace lifelong learning.
