This page last updated 04 April 2006THE PLACE OF ART WITHIN THE WHOLE CURRICULUMArt delivers both a practical and an academic element to the curriculum through the processes of development towards the making of objects and artefacts which have within them strong aesthetic qualities. There is also a critical, historical and contextual element to the work that should be fully integrated into the practical delivery of the subject. The study not only offers a technical and aesthetic element to the whole curriculum, but also opportunity for pupils to respond in a personal and unique way to the natural and manufactured environment. It creates opportunity for expression and imagination in the handling of images, tools and materials. Through the study of images and artefacts from different historical periods and cultures, art encourages an awareness beyond a Western dimension. Art offers equal opportunity to pupils of both sexes through a range of appropriate two and three dimensional experiences. The stimulus for developing images is invariably neutral in origin and mainly pupil centred. It offers opportunity to achieve success at every intellectual level through a wide variety of materials and processes.
