Art and Design

Our vision for Art at Revoe is that every child is an artist. We encourage all children to creatively express their ideas using a variety of mediums and techniques. We will explore the history of Art and Design and use the ideas of famous artists as inspiration for the children’s work. Every child is supported to explore their creativity and flair, expressing their ideas and views confidently through their artwork.

Encouraging Your Child at Home

You can find art everywhere - in magazines, books, posters, a scene through a window, prints on clothing, wallpaper etc. You can encourage your child's love of art by:

  • Visiting galleries and museums. The Grundy Art Gallery in Blackpool is free to the public all year round.
  • Create your own artwork, without the need for expensive art equipment. Draw in the sand on the beach, make patterns with leaves in the park, recycle wrapping paper or use magazines to make sculptures. Collect junk-modelling materials to make 3D artwork. Remember, you don’t always need brushes and paints to make art.
  • Interact with your child. Sit down together and talk to your child whilst they are drawing; ask questions and find out about their ideas.
  • If your child has made something they are proud of, praise them. Put it on display and show them that you too are proud of their creation.
