Art & DT
Our Arts Vision
Our children participate in a variety of engaging and inspiring opportunities; that enable them to develop positively within their learning, academically as well as socially, emotionally and culturally. Giving all children quality experiences of the Arts in and out of the classroom impacts greatly upon the standards of attainment in the core areas achieved by our children. At Great Binfields we encourage all children and staff to adopt a growth mind set approach to all tasks and apply this not only to learning but to ensure they are being global citizens. The Arts play a vital part in children being able to foster this mind set and one of our school’s well know phrases ‘Don’t give up until your proud’ really applies to creative learning and encourages children to persevere with struggles and challenges, just like those many professional artists face / have faced.
'Art and design technology is not just a subject to learn, but an activity that you can practise: with your hands, eyes and your whole personality' Quentin Blake, Former Children's Laureate
Art and design develops spiritual values and contributes a wider understanding to the experience of life, which helps to build a balanced personality.' Bridget Riley, Painter
