At Wheatfields our art curriculum promotes the love of art in all its forms. We teach art skills in a progressive way using artists from diverse backgrounds as our inspiration, as well as allowing our children to develop their own unique style. We teach art in a creative and cross-curricular way that takes into account the children’s interests. We value the work of all our children and their artwork can be seen around the school to celebrate this.
