Art and Design
Art and design is a valuable form of expression and communication for all our pupils. Through the art curriculum children are encouraged to see and experiment with a wide range of materials, equipment and techniques. Children learn about different kinds of art from various artists, cultures and traditions with a view to appreciating it and trying out the techniques used in their work.
Children's art work is always on display in all areas of the school. This serves to develop children's self esteem and encourage them in their work. The art work reflects our children's cultures and provides a bright stimulating environment throughout the school.
In the Summer term each year we hold an Arts Week. Our year 6 children work with an artist in residence developing new skills. Their work culminates in a large scale piece of art that forms a lasting legacy of their time at Mayfield.
