At River Tees Hospital School, our Art curriculum is designed to inspire creativity and foster self-expression among our pupils. We believe that art is not just a subject; it is a vital means of understanding and engaging with the world. Through the exploration of various artistic practises, including drawing, painting, sculpture, and design, pupils develop both practical and theoretical knowledge that enhances their appreciation of art and its cultural significance.
Our curriculum encourages pupils to explore their ideas and experiences creatively. By engaging with different materials and techniques, they learn to express their thoughts and emotions, building confidence in their artistic abilities. We emphasise the importance of evaluating and analysing creative works, helping pupils articulate their understanding of art using appropriate terminology.
Recognising the unique context of our hospital school, we ensure that our Art curriculum is adaptable and inclusive, catering to the diverse needs of our pupils. We provide opportunities for hands-on experiences, allowing pupils to engage in meaningful projects that connect with their individual journeys. This approach not only nurtures their artistic skills but also promotes emotional well-being and personal growth.
