Art
Providing an all-round Art experience for all OSSMA learners. This involves them learning about artists (including designers and architects) from different eras, exploring and experiencing different materials confidently and building on and developing their current skills.
OSSMA Artists will be creative learners using their knowledge and skills to produce inspiring pieces of work
There are many reasons why Art is important in the Curriculum
- Art is a form of communication and expression which allows learning and problem-solving in a visual and practical way.
- It allows children to develop motor skills (hand-eye coordination), social skills, decision-making, risk-taking, creativity and inventiveness.
- Art links with a wide variety of cross-curricular subjects.
- It allows critical thinking and opportunities to develop their voice and opinions (of the work of the Artist and their own). This can be done through a variety of mediums, from drawing to Photography, textiles and 3D
