The Arts
The Arts at Ranelagh.
Art and design stimulates creativity and imagination. It provides visual, tactile and sensory experiences and a special way of understanding and responding to the world. It enables children to communicate what they see, feel and think through the use of colour, texture, form, pattern and different materials and processes. Children become involved in shaping their environments through art and design activities. They learn to make informed judgements and aesthetic and practical decisions. They explore ideas and meanings through the work of artists and designers. Through learning about the roles and functions of art, they can explore the impact it has had on contemporary life and that of different times and cultures. The appreciation and enjoyment of the visual arts enriches all our lives.
At Ranelagh Primary School we are committed to providing an arts curriculum in art and design, music, dance and drama which provides a broad range and depth of the highest quality.
All children are provided with the opportunity to be able to enjoy and engage in the arts as makers, performers, exhibitors and as spectators.
At Ranelagh we believe the arts should underpin the learning of the pupils throughout the school by providing opportunities to learn and express themselves through creative mediums including art and design, digital media, dance, drama, music and creative writing.
