QEGS Art Textiles Curriculum Maps




In Art we QUESTION everything we see and seek to enrich our environment. We EXPLORE the parameters of creativity past, present and future. We GIVE students an ability to respond, react and re-invent the world they live in. We SUCCEED in encouraging students to develop the confidence to work independently and trust their creative contribution.
