We intend for all our pupils to have:

 

 

  •          The ability to use visual language skillfully and convincingly (for example, line, shape, pattern, colour, texture, form) to express emotions, interpret observations, convey insights and accentuate their individuality.
  •          The ability to communicate fluently in visual and tactile form.
  •          The ability to draw confidently and adventurously from observation, memory and imagination.
  •          The ability to explore and invent marks, develop and deconstruct ideas and communicate perceptively and powerfully through purposeful drawing in 2D, 3D or digital media.
  •          An impressive knowledge and understanding of other artists, craftmakers and designers.
  •          The ability to think and act like creative practitioners by using their knowledge and understanding to inform, inspire and interpret ideas, observations and feelings.
  •          Independence, initiative and originality which they can use to develop their creativity.
  •          The ability to select and use materials, processes and techniques skillfully and inventively to realise intentions and capitalise on the unexpected.
  •          The ability to reflect on, analyse and critically evaluate their own work and that of others.
  •          A passion for and a commitment to the subject.
