Art
Guillemont Junior school appreciates how important it is for children to experience the arts for a balanced, fulfilled development. Children are given a wealth of opportunities for creativity in our topic based curriculum. Drawing skills are at the heart of their experiences, and this skill underlines other opportunities.
Throughout their time at Guillemont, children experience both 2D and 3D art foci. Presently, the skills that partner drawing are painting, clay, printing, ICT, paper paste, and collage or weaving. Children meet these areas at least twice in their time here, although drawing and painting are continuous studies.
During their four years at Guillemont pupils are encouraged to use a sketchbook to plan art work and experiment using different media. As time passes this becomes an invaluable reference for the children so that they can apply techniques already learned and judge for themselves how they can improve their work.
