They are also<br \/>given opportunities to meet directly with local artists, craft makers and designers.<\/p><p>We try to unleash the creativity in each child and challenge perceptions of the world around them as:<\/p><blockquote style=\"border-left: 4px solid #C8DFF3;padding-left: 15px;font-style: italic;margin: 20px 0\"><p style=\"color: #99b3ff !important;margin: 0\">\u201cEvery child is an artist\u2026\u201d \u2013 Pablo Picasso<\/p><\/blockquote><p>The department uses the expertise of its staff to expose pupils to a wide variety of different types<br \/>of art materials and techniques.
