Art In The Junior School

To adults and children alike Art should be, and is, a lot of fun. The appreciation of colour and shape is taken for granted and children just love getting messy. Beyond the obvious fun and enjoyment, Art expands a child’s ability to communicate, to interact and provides a set of skills for self-expression.It also helps to develop the right side of the brain and allows the child to develop strategies in a similar manner to those required to learn a new language.

Art is integral to the curriculum in the Junior School and can be found in all subject areas. Although predominant in the earlier years it is an important developmental tool for all age groups. We are fortunate to have superb facilities that allow students to develop their creative skills in an environment that positively encourages them to do so.

At Wellington College children of all ages have the opportunity to express themselves through the medium of Art and to develop their sense of imagination. ’The future belongs to young people with an education and the imagination to create,’ stated President Obama and at Wellington we offer our students every possible opportunity to unleash the imagination and creativity that all children possess.
