Art
Intent
At Christopher Rawlins we recognise that Art stimulates creativity and imagination. It provides visual, tactile and sensory experiences and enables pupils to develop a natural sense of wonder and curiosity about the world and around them. It enables children of all abilities to communicate what they see, feel, think through the use of colour, texture, form pattern and different materials and processes. We encourage children to explore ideas and meanings through the work of a range of artists. Through learning about the roles and functions of art, they can explore the impact it has had on contemporary life at different times and in different cultures.
