Art
From their arrival in Lower Kindergarten, children particpate in a wide range of art media from still life drawing to puppet making. From Year 1 the curriculum includes a timetabled art lesson in our dedicated art room. As the children progress up the school, they are encouraged to develop their observational skills, work in both two and three dimensions and experiment with a range of different techniques that include ceramics, rag work and glass painting. We run an Art club after school for children in Years 4 and 5 and children are invited to sign up on a 'first-come first-served' basis. |
Whatever your child’s abilities, we will ensure that they have a rich and varied experience of art at Oakhyrst. Your child will be encouraged in his or her artistic skills and self-expression. Those who show outstanding promise are encouraged to pursue art scholarships at their choice of senior schools.
