Mr. G. Armstrong
Art and Design is a vital means of self-expression and communication, it is a means by which children can to learn to make sense of and gain a wider understanding and appreciation of the world around them.
The children’s creativity is developed by knowledge and understanding of art and design as well as investigating and making their own designs and art works. Art and Design can help to develop skills across the curriculum as well as supporting emotional and intellectual development, physical skill and critical judgment.
It is a subject
taught in its own right and can be used to enrich teaching and learning in other
subjects.
As Art and Design requires the use of specialist tools and equipment this policy
is implemented in conjunction with the Newtownabbey Community High Schools
Safety Policy.
