Art - Unique Care Homes

At Ysgol Y Rhos we value learning and teaching Art & Design; it stimulates creativity and promotes imagination using a wide range of materials. It is also highly effective as a cross curricular link, adding to children’s experiences and depth of understanding in other areas of their learning, from creating their own artwork, sculptures, and artefacts.

Art and Design at Ysgol Y Rhos provides:

A stimulating learning environment where the pupils voice is paramount, and each piece of artwork is valued and celebrated individually and collectively.
Children with the opportunity to communicate what we see and feel through a variety of materials, texture, colors, and patterns providing visual, tactile, and sensory experiences that are important to help all our pupils have an insight into the world around them.
Confidence and a chance to produce something without failure, something that is personal to them, inspiring them to take ownership of their own learning.
The ability to deliver our mission statement successfully. We encourage a love of learning, working together to help individuals achieve self-belief, independence, and fulfilment.

Vision

The Art & Design curriculum includes enabling our pupils to reach their true potential, lead their own learning and become valued members of society through a creative, exciting, inspiring, engaging and culturally rich learning environment. Our pupils are given the opportunity to gain confidence to express themselves and develop the lifelong skills needed for critical and creative thinking.
