What Is Art, Craft & Design?
Art, craft and design introduces learners to a range of intellectual and practical skills, giving our young people a curriculum that enables them to be engaged, inspired and challenged.
Art, Craft & Design enables learners to use visual language to develop ideas, explore techniques and processes. To understand the properties of a range of materials and tools and to learn new and interesting creative techniques. It provides young people with the skills to think imaginatively and creatively and develop confidence in their own abilities and achievements giving them opportunities to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design.
The skills developed through engaging in a creative curriculum, are transferable to all areas of life but can also be the first step to progressing onto higher education and ultimately to employment in the creative sector.
