Why do we study Art?

At St Winefride’s, our vision for Art and Design is to engage, inspire and challenge all pupils’ creativity. We will do this by equipping our pupils with the knowledge and skills required to participate in, experiment with, invent and create their own works of art with confidence.

We also want our pupils to investigate, appreciate and evaluate a wide range of creative outcomes from our history and to understand how they reflect our past and shape our future. We want our pupils to understand that perseverance, resilience and attentiveness needed to complete a piece of artwork are invaluable skills that can be transferred to many other areas of life.
