Cultural Capital – Art & Design

At East Dene, our curriculum significantly enriches a child’s cultural capital in Art, Design, and Technology by providing a diverse array of creative opportunities and resources. The curriculum is designed to nurture artistic expression and technical skills through hands-on projects, trips, critical thinking and an exposure to a variety of artistic mediums and design principles. Students engage in activities that stimulate their imagination and critical thinking, such as creating original artworks, exploring cutting-edge technologies, and understanding the historical and cultural contexts of different art forms. This holistic approach not only enhances their artistic abilities but also instils a deep appreciation for the arts and fosters innovative thinking, preparing them for future academic and professional endeavours in a rapidly evolving world.
