Art
Art and Design play an important part in the life of Argyle Primary School. We believe that art education provides opportunities for children to be imaginative, creative and inventive. It engages children and enables them to explore and express feelings in ways that are unique and particular to artistic activity.
Pupils' final outcome is artwork of a very high quality and is displayed in a school gallery as well as around the classrooms to illustrate a cross-curricular approach to learning.
Our rich art curriculum enables pupil’s to learn about public art and contemporary artists. We believe that children should be aware of the artwork in their surrounding areas and understand the fact that contemporary artists tackle or try to raise awareness of various social issues which directly or indirectly affects the world they are growing up in. This will enhances change their outlook on the importance of art as a tool in challenging people’s knowledge and appreciation of art as well a opinions.
In addition to their class-based art lessons pupils throughout the school take part in numerous art workshops. Every year group visits a prestigious gallery to see an exhibition linked with their learning objective and enhance their understanding of visual art. We have participated in several arts projects which link in with the local and global community. We have also had many exhibitions in a range of galleries and spaces around London including along the Euston Road, the October Gallery, Royal Academy of Arts, Swiss Cottage Gallery, SOAS, Trinity Square, Kings Cross Square and the Lauderdale Gallery.
