Art & Design
At Park Brow, we believe that every child is an artist and all final creations are celebrated. We promote creative exploration and provide children with a broad range of activities to develop and strengthen their skill set throughout their journey from Early Years to Year 6. Following the expert led scheme ‘Kapow!’ children participate in high quality opportunities to discover and use different painting, drawing and sculpting materials a wide variety of ways. Children are exposed to a range of artists and architects, reflecting on their pieces and are encouraged to apply their techniques to inspire their own creations.
