Art and Design
At Meadow View JMI, we believe that Art and Design fires the imagination.
It allows all children to express their uniqueness, through stimulating their creativity, experimentation and inventiveness.
We aim to inspire the children, using a range of artists and believe that through teaching the art skills and processes, children can express themselves freely. Art gives them the platform to
DREAM, BELIEVE, ACHIEVE!
