For Art’s Sake – Creativity Comes Alive in P5!
We are delighted to have been selected to take part in the For Art’s Sake project — a vibrant, community-funded initiative designed to bring high-quality arts education into the classroom. The programme offers pupils hands-on experiences across four exciting art forms: clay, drawing & painting, drama, and digital art. Each art form is delivered through a series of six engaging two-hour lessons, supported by a dedicated teacher training session to help staff embed the learning across the school.
This week, Mrs. Campbell’s P5 class kicked off the first block with a clay workshop led by visiting artist Andrea. The children explored Ancient Egyptian art, learning how to sculpt an Egyptian pot and a scarab beetle. The session was a huge hit — pupils were fully immersed in the creative process and loved working with clay for the first time.
A big well done to P5 for your enthusiasm and focus! We’re already looking forward to welcoming Andrea back next Tuesday for the next clay session.
Stay tuned as we continue our artistic journey through the remaining art forms — each one designed to inspire creativity, build skills, and enrich our curriculum
