Prep Art

As part of the Arts and Culture programme, each child at Bridge House (Grade 1 - 7) has the opportunity to come to the art room for an hour every week. It is a time when they can experiment with various media and techniques and in so doing give expression to their feelings, experiences and understanding of the world around them.

The aim of the art programme is to allow the children the time and space in which to be creative and to put their artistic skills into practice. We also aim to teach art in such a way that the child's uniqueness is recognised and their imagination and creativity is nurtured. A range of projects is tackled as the children get the opportunity to work on 2-dimensional work (drawing and painting) as well as 3-dimensional models, clay modeling, collage and craft. At times, projects are linked to classroom themes and this allows for integration with a number of other subjects.

A vital part of the art programme is that the children have fun and that each child, regardless of talent and artistic ability benefits from doing art.
