Spirituality in Art & Design

Spirituality features in art and design as it allows children to explore and express their personal beliefs, emotions, and experiences in a creative way. Art and design provides a platform for children to connect with their inner selves and develop a sense of empathy and compassion towards others. It allows children to contemplate the deeper questions of life such as the meaning of existence, identity, and morality, and encourages them to develop their own unique perspective in their work.

Spirituality in art and design can be found in our curriculum through various forms, such as using symbolism or metaphors to represent spiritual beliefs or emotions, exploring the beauty and wonders of nature, or creating artwork that promotes a sense of unity, harmony, and peaceful coexistence. Through art and design, pupils can develop and strengthen their spirituality, leading to greater self-awareness, emotional maturity, and personal growth.
