Art | Unity Academy Blackpool

Art is an important part of the curriculum as it encourages creativity and imagination. It also provides opportunities and skills to learn outside the classroom through the entitlement curriculum. Art education allows the children to express themselves and build resilience through challenging activities and the expectation of developing new skills. Students at Unity are given the opportunity to develop their knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the Art world. They are encouraged to develop the following skills:

Creativity - how they use and experiment with a range of materials to produce images.
Competence - how they develop their technical knowledge and processes to complete and improve their work.
Cultural Understanding - how they discuss and appreciate the work of artists from various times and cultures and use their understanding to develop their work further.
Critical Understanding - how they have used the techniques and ideas of various artists and adapted them to enhance their own work
