Art is about creativity and self expression. Art education is a balance between the development of practical skills and the encouragement of innovation and imagination. Art activities promote independent thinking; building self confidence and self esteem through positive achievement.

Art encourages pupils to formulate ideas, emotions and opinions. Through art we understand what it is to be human and to make sense of the world around us.

At Whitchurch we provide a stimulating, safe environment in which pupils are encouraged to experiment and take risks with materials and ideas.

Our young people are living in times of rapid cultural change. The ever changing cultural and economic world demands creative thinking and ideas. Art activities help to equip our pupils with the necessary skills to face the future with confidence.
