Art provides opportunities to engage and be inclusive to all learners. It provides an alternative method of communication through self-expression and imagination. Due to this, all students are able to take ownership of development, media and choice of artists and techniques to maximise attainment and progress through self-directed learning and reflective thinking.
Art experiences boost critical thinking, teaching students to take their time and to be careful and thorough in how they observe the world and other cultures. This is demonstrated through sustained work, which in turn instils resilience and inspiration.
