Introduction

Art and design encourages children to explore and develop their creativity and imagination. Our unique site provides a dynamic visual world with, unlimited visual, tactile and sensory experiences and stimulates children to record what they see and imagine. Through their enjoyment and inspiration pupils can use colour, form, texture, pattern and different materials to communicate what they see, feel and think.

Teacher Led Visits

The diversity of the site offers the chance for study of units:

• Unit 1B Investigating Materials.

• Unit 2B Mother Nature, Designer.

• Unit 2C Can Buildings Speak?

• Unit 3B Investigating Pattern.

• Unit 6A People in Action.

• Unit 6B What a performance.

• Unit 9GEN Visiting a Museum.

The Museum's 50-acre site provides an inspirational setting for pupils' creativity to be explored and linked in a cross-curricular way with other subjects such as Literacy, Mathematics, History, Geography and Science. In fact it is unusual for schools not to incorporate this subject into their visit.
