Meridian Primary School Art, Craft and Design
At Meridian Primary School we believe all children deserve the opportunity to develop their skills through an inclusive, rich and open-ended creative journey. Art, craft and design embody some of the highest forms of creativity and promotes both independence and team work. We aim to inspire, challenge and equip pupils with the knowledge and skills with which they can experiment, invent and create their own expressive works of art. We believe inspiring children to use their imagination and develop a love for art gives them a lifelong gift of creativity at the same time as developing key practical skills, such as dexterity, fine motor control and co-ordination. It allows them a channel to express themselves without having to find the right words. The great thing about art is that there is no right and wrong, giving children a sense of freedom other subject areas are unable to provide.
