The purpose of our Art curriculum at Hose Church of England Primary School is to open the door to the world beyond our village for our children. We aspire for our children to leave Hose full of knowledge and wonder for the world they live in and to be ready to take on challenges with confidence and pride. We believe the study of Art, the context in which it is created and the people who create are vital parts of a well-rounded education. Our Art Curriculum fosters creativity, self-expression and cognitive skills. The study of art is integral in developing our understanding of our cultural heritage and the wider world and the political and social circumstances in which it can be produced. We recognise that art is far more than a series of learnt technical skills. Our holistic curriculum nurtures creative thinking skills and helps to ensure our children learn through art, as well as about art.
