Art and Design
At Danesholme Academies, our art and design curriculum is designed so that every child will 'Be Ready':
Ready to Learn — In Art and Design, we provide a creative, skills-based curriculum that sparks imagination. Children are ready to explore materials, try new techniques, and develop their own artistic ideas.
Ready for Life — Through Art, children build confidence, resilience, and self-expression. They learn to reflect on their work, appreciate creativity, and recognise how art shapes the world around them
Ready to Contribute — .Art and Design promotes collaboration, respect, and appreciation of different styles and cultures. Children learn to share ideas, celebrate others’ work, and contribute creatively to their community.
Ready to Succeed — With progression in artistic skills and knowledge, children are supported to achieve well. High expectations and purposeful practice ensure they are ready for the next stage of their creative journey
