Art/DT

Hello! I’m Mrs Moore, and I’m passionate about Art and Design & Technology because I believe every child has the creativity, imagination and potential to make something wonderful.

I have always loved the idea that we can take an idea in our minds and bring it to life through drawing, painting, building, designing and experimenting. Whether it’s exploring colour and texture, creating artwork inspired by the world around us or designing and making something that solves a problem, I love seeing what children can achieve when they are given the freedom to be curious and creative.

For me, Art and DT are about so much more than producing a finished piece of work. They encourage children to think differently, explore possibilities, solve problems and learn from mistakes. There is something truly special about watching a child’s confidence grow as they experiment with new materials, develop their own ideas and realise that they can create something unique. Sometimes things don’t go to plan the first time, but that’s all part of the process! Learning to persevere, adapt and try again are valuable skills that children can carry with them throughout their lives.

At Stourview, I want every child to have the opportunity to discover their own creativity, develop practical skills and feel proud of what they can achieve. Through our Art and DT curriculum, I hope to inspire children to explore different artists, techniques, materials and designs, while encouraging them to look closely at the world around them and see the possibilities within it.

Most importantly, I want children to understand that there is no single way to be creative. Every idea is worth exploring, every mistake is an opportunity to learn, and every child has something special to contribute. My aim is to help our children become confident, imaginative and resourceful thinkers who are excited to experiment, create and bring their ideas to life. Who knows what wonderful things they might create!
