Art & Design

At The Mill, we believe that Art and Design ignite creativity and imagination. Through visual, tactile, and sensory experiences, children gain a unique way of understanding and responding to the world around them.

Art empowers children of all abilities to express what they see, feel, and think, using colour, texture, form, pattern, and a variety of materials and techniques. We inspire them to explore ideas and meanings through the work of diverse artists and designers, encouraging curiosity and critical thinking.

By learning about the roles and impact of art across different times, cultures, and contemporary life, children develop a deeper appreciation of its significance. We believe that the enjoyment and understanding of the visual arts enriches not only their education but their lives as a whole.
